31. A circular fin of diameter D = 0.25 inches and length L = 4 inches transfers heat at a rate Q = 5.66 Btu/hr to air. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 3.62 Btu/hr-ft²- °F and the temperature difference between the fin-wall interface and the air is 100 °F. What is the thermal conductivity of the fin? What is the temperature of the fin tip?

Transcribed Image Text:= 31. A circular fin of diameter D = 0.25 inches and length L 4 inches transfers heat at a rate Q = 5.66 Btu/hr to air. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 3.62 Btu/hr-ft²- °F and the temperature difference between the fin-wall interface and the air is 100 °F. What is the thermal conductivity of the fin? What is the temperature of the fin tip?
Expert Solution
Step 1 of 2.

To find:

The thermal conductivity and fin tip temperature.

Given:

The diameter of the fin is D=0.25 in=0.02083 ft.

The length of the fin is L=4 in=0.334 ft.

The heat transfer coefficient is h=3.62 Btu/hr.ft2.°F.

The heat transfer rate is Q=5.66 Btu/hr.

The temperature difference between the fin base and the ambient is Tb-T=100°F.
