4. A copper-plate fin of rectangular cross-section having thickness t = 1 mm, height L= 10 mm and thermal conductivity k= 380 W/(m-K) are attached to a plane wall maintained at a temperature T, = 230°C. Fins dissipate heat by convection into ambient air T = 30°C with a heat transfer coefficient h = 40 W/(m²-K). Fins are spaced at 8 mm (that is 125 fins per meter). Assume %3D negligible heat loss form the tip. (a) Determine the fin efficiency. (b) Determine the net rate of heat transfer per square meter of plane wall surface. (c) What would be the heat transfer rate from the plane wall if there were no fins attached?
