An unblemished table or diagram is needed. Create a perfect solution immediately. AS11 "A cylindrical engine employs circular fins to dissipate heat. The engine has a diameter Do of 0.3m and a length L of 1 m. The circular fins are made of aluminum (k =46.4 W/mK) and dimensions are 0.3 cm thickness and 2 cm length (from base to tip). The system is exposed to air at 30 degC and the convective heat transfer coefficient is h =12 W/m2K. The maximum allowable temperature on the cylindrical engine external surface is 300 degC.
1) Draw a diagram of the system (1 pt)
2) Determine fin efficiency (3 pt)
3) Calculate the heat transfer from a single fin (2 pt).
4) Determine the area of transfer of the base element, Ao, and the total area of fins, Af, as function of the number of fins, n.(2 pt)
5) Estimate the number of fins required to cool a 7600 W engine (2 pt)"
