Consider a circular fin with rectangular profile as shown
The steady conduction along the radial direction in the fin is described by the following
equation
1Addr(AkdTdr)+hPA(T-T)=0
where ,A is the cross section area (A=2rt)
P is the wetted perimeter of the cross section (P=4r),
Let r1=5mm,r2=20mm,t=0.2mm,k=205WmK,T=300K,h=8.2Wm2K
and T(r1)=380K.
(a) Draw a detailed 1D diagram of the fin having a spatial discretization of 10 nodes
(b) Use the Finite Volume Method to discretize the fin equation.
(c) Apply the discretized fin equation to the boundary and central nodes in order to obtain
equations of the form
aPTP=aWTW+aETE+Su and Complete the table given
 Consider a circular fin with rectangular profile as shown The steady
