1. A hot surface at 100 C is to be cooled by attaching 3 cm long, 0.25 cm diameter aluminum pin fins (k-237 W/mC) to it, with a center to center distance of 0.6 cm. The temperature of the surrounding medium is 30 C and the heat transfer coefficient on the surface is 35 W/m2 C). Determine the rate of heat transfer from the surface for a lmx1m section of the plate. Also determine the overall effectiveness of the fins? Assume heat transfer from the fin tip is negligible.
