Question: A pin fin ( k = 2 5 0 W / mK ) is attached to a wall. The fin s diameter is 1 .

A pin fin (k =250 W/mK) is attached to a wall. The fins diameter is 1.5 cm and it is 10 cm
long. The hot wall is at 200 oC. The surrounding air is at 15 oC and the convective coefficient
is 9 W/m2K.(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 fin tip approximation. (d) Determine the
efficiency of the fin. (e) Determine the effectiveness of the fin.
