a cylindrical rod length 1 m and diameter 0.02 m is equipped with annular fins each having a diameter of o.1m and a thickness of 2mm. the fins are spaced 5cm apart along the length of the rod. the thermal conductivity of the rod is k=50w/mc and the thermal . conductivity of the fins is k=180w/mc. if the rod surface temperature is maintained at 100 C and the surrounding of temperature is 25 C , determine 1.the total surface area available for heat transfer(including the finned surface area)2. if the heat transfer coefficient h=20 w/m^2 c , determine the total rate of heat loss from the finned rod.
