Question: 5 - 3 8 A plane wall with surface temperature of ( 3 5 0 ^ { circ } mathrm { C

5-38 A plane wall with surface temperature of \(350^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is attached with straight rectangular fins \((k=235\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}\cdot \mathrm{K})\). The fins are exposed to an ambient air condition of \(25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and the convection heat transfer coefficient is \(154\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\cdot \mathrm{~K}\). Each fin has a length of 50 mm , a base of 5 mm thick, and a width of 100 mm . For a single fin, using a uniform nodal spacing of 10 mm , determine (a) the finite difference equations, (b) the nodal temperatures by solving the finite difference equations, and (c) the heat transfer rate and compare the result with analytical solution.
