In Chapter 3 we will learn that the steady state temperature distribution T(x) for a cooling fin
is described using an equation of the form
d2dx2T(x)-4hkD(T(x)-T)=0,(T(0)=Tb,T(x)=T)
where h is the heat transfer ; k is the thermal conductivity; D is the diameter of the cooling
fin; and T is the temperature of the ambient air. Determine the rate of heat transfer q using
q=-kD24Tx|x=0
if k=157Wm K. Express you answer in watts.
In Chapter 3 we will learn that the steady state
