1) Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i.e.,\(20^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Its width is 50 mm ; thickness is 1.0 mm ; thermal conductivity is \(200\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}\cdot \mathrm{K}\); and base temperature is \(40^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The heat transfer coefficient is \(20\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\cdot \mathrm{~K}\).
Determine:
(a) the fin temperature a distance of 5.0 cm from the base (10 points);
(b) the rate of heat loss from the entire fin (10 points); and
(c) the fin effectiveness (10 points).
