Question: ( 5 ) A copper pin fin 0 . 2 5 cm in diameter that protrudes from a wall at 9 5 C into ambient

(5) A copper pin fin 0.25 cm in diameter that protrudes from a wall at 95C into ambient air at 25C. The heat
transfer is mainly by natural convection with a coefficient equal to 10Wm2-K. Calculate the heat loss,
assuming that:
(a) the fin is infinitely long, (b) the fin is 2.5 cm long, and (c) how long would the fin to be for the
Infinitely long solution to be correct within 5%?
[Ans: (a)0.865 W ,(b)0.140 W ,(c)L>28.3cm]
