Question: Q 3 . Pr . 5 - 3 5 . One side of a 2 - m - high and 3 - m - wide

Q3. Pr.5-35. One side of a 2-m-high and 3-m-wide vertical plate at \(80^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) is to be cooled by attaching aluminum fins (\( k=237\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}\cdot{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\)) of rectangular profile in an environment at \(35^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). The fins are 2 cm long, 0.3 cm thick, and 0.4 cm apart. The heat transfer coefficient between the fins and the surrounding air for combined convection and radiation is estimated to be \(30\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{2.}{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). Assuming steady onedimensional heat transfer along the fin and taking the nodal spacing to be 0.5 cm , determine (a) the finite difference formulation of this problem, (b) the nodal temperatures along the fin by solving these equations, (c) the rate of heat transfer from a single fin, and (d) the rate of heat transfer from the entire finned surface of the plate.
