2- The addition of aluminum fins has been suggested to increase the rate of heat dissipation from one side of an electronic device 1 m wide and 1 m tall. The fins are to be rectangular in cross section, 2.5 cm long and 0.25 cm thick. There are to be 100 fins per meter. The convective heat transfer coefficient, both for the wall and the fins, is estimated at 35 W/(m2 K). With this information, determine the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer of the finned wall compared to the bare wall. (take the case where the tip is exposed to convection) Ans(48 t= 2.5 mm 2.5 cm

40°C water with hwater = 800 W/m² K is flowing in a Pyrex tube. The inner and outer diameters of the tube are 25 mm and 35 mm. A thin metallic heater element bonded to the outer surface of the tube is being used to heat the water by transferring 600 W/m of thermal energy to the water flowing in the tube. The Pyrex tube and heater are covered with a 10-mm thick layer of foam insulation. The outer surface of the foam insulation is exposed to air at T = -5°C with hair = 12 W/m².K. The heater = air element must generate more than 600 W/m, because part of the heat being generated is lost to the air surrounding the foam insulation. Assume kp = 1.30 W/m K for Pyrex and k = 0.026 W/m K for the foam insulation. a) Find the temperature of the heater element needed to transfer 600 W/m of thermal energy to the water in the tube. b) Find the total rate at which the heater element must generate thermal energy.
