Question: 2 . 4 A pin fin ( k = 2 5 0 W m C ) is attached to a wall. The fin's diameter is

2.4 A pin fin (k=250WmC) is attached to a wall. The fin's diameter is 1.5 cm and it is 10 cm long. The wall is at 200 C . The surrounding air is at 15 C and the convective coefficient is 9 W/m2 C.
(a) Determine the rate of heat transfer from the fin to the surrounding air.
(b) Compare the result of part (a) with the result from the very-long-fin approximation.
(c) Compare the result of part (a) with the insulated-at-end approximation.
(d) Determine the efficiency of the fin.
(e) Determine the effectiveness of the fin.
