36. Aluminium fins (k = 200 W/m.K) of rectangular profile are attached on a plane wall with 5 mm spacing (200 fin per metre width). The fins are 1 mm thick, 10 mm long. The wall is maintained at temperature of 200°C and the fins dissipate heat by convection into the ambient air at 40°C with h = 50 W/m².K. Determine : (a) the fin efficiency, (b) the area weighted fin efficiency, (c) the heat loss per square metre of the wall. [Ans. (c) 37.8 kW/m²]

Question
36. Aluminium fins (k = 200 W/m.K) of rectangular
profile are attached on a plane wall with 5 mm
spacing (200 fin per metre width). The fins are 1 mm
thick, 10 mm long. The wall is maintained at
temperature of 200°C and the fins dissipate heat by
convection into the ambient air at 40°C with
h = 50 W/m2.K. Determine : (a) the fin efficiency,
(b) the area weighted fin efficiency, (c) the heat loss
per square metre of the wall. [Ans. (c) 37.8 kW/m²]
