Question: Problem ( 1 ) : Consider a fin of length L , perimeter p , and cross - sectional area A c . The fin

Problem (1): Consider a fin of length L, perimeter p, and cross-sectional area Ac. The fin is exposed to a fluid at temperature T with convective heat transfer coefficient h. One end of the fin is attached to a base at temperature Tb while the other end (tip) is exposed to the same fluid at temperature T with convective heat transfer coefficient h. Show that in this case the temperature profile T(x) within the fin is given by
T(x)-TTb-T=cosh[m(L-x)]+(hmk)sinh[m(L-x)]cosh[mL]+(hmk)sinh[mL]
and the rate of heat transfer is given by
Q=hpkAc2(Tb-T)sinh[mL]+(hmk)cosh[mL]cosh[mL]+(hmk)sinh[mL]
where k is the thermal conductivity of the fin material and m2=hpkAc
