Consider a very long aluminum fin (k = 237W/m-K) fin

Consider a very long aluminum fin (k = 237W/m-K) fin, with the temperature at the end of the fin essentially that of the surrounding air. This fin has a diameter of lcm, and is attached to a surface at 80°C. The surface is exposed to ambient air at 22°C with a heat transfer coefficient of 15W/m2-K. Estimate: 


a) The fin temperature at a distance of 5cm from the base; 

b) The rate of heat loss from the entire fin; 

c) The effectiveness of the fin
