Solve 17.44 only. 17.43 attached for reference

17.43 A 2-in-OD stainless-steel tube has 16 longitudinal fins spaced around its outside surface as shown. The fins are 1/16-in thick and extend 1 in from the outside surface of the tube. a. If the outside surface of the tube wall is at 250F, the surrounding air is at 80F, and the convective heat-transfer coefficient is 8Btu/hft2F, determine the percent increase in heat transfer for the finned pipe over that for the unfinned pipe. b. Determine the same information as in part (a) for values of h of 2,5,15,50, and 100Btu/hft2F. Plot the percent increase in q vs. h. What conclusions can be reached concerning this plot? 17.44 Repeat Problem 17.43 for the case of an aluminum pipeand-fin arrangement
