Question: 2 - ( 3 0 pts ) A straight fin fabricated from aluminum alloy ( k = 1 8 5 W m K ) has

2-(30 pts ) A straight fin fabricated from aluminum alloy (k=185WmK) has a base thickness of t=3mm and a length of L=15mm. Its base temperature is Tb=100C, and it is exposed to a fluid for which T=20C and h=50Wm2K. For the foregoing conditions and a fin of unit (1 m ) width, compare the fin heat transfer rates and efficiencies for rectangular and triangular profiles. Steady state conditions are valid, there is one-dimensional heat transfer, radiation is negligible, and convection coefficient is uniform.
