4. An aluminum alloy fin of 12 mm thick, 10 mm width and 50 mm long protrudes from a wall, which is maintained at 120C. The ambient air temperature is 22C. The heat transfer coefficient and conductivity of the fin material are 140 W/m2K and 55 W/mk respectively. Determine a. Temperature at the end of the fin b. Temperature at the middle of the fin. c. Calculate the heat dissipation energy of the fin

Answer :

Batolisisgo

Answer:

a) 84.034°C

b) 92.56°C

c) ≈ 88 watts

Explanation:

Thickness of aluminum alloy fin = 12 mm

width = 10 mm

length = 50 mm

Ambient air temperature = 22°C

Temperature of aluminum alloy is maintained at 120°C

a) Determine temperature at end of fin

m = √ hp/Ka

   = √( 140*2 ) / ( 12 * 10^-3 * 55 )

   = √ 280 / 0.66 = 20.60
