400 circumferential fins of rectangular profile (k = 386 W/m °C) are installed on a tube having a diameter of 3 cm and 1 m length that is maintained at a temperature of 200°C. The single fin has a length of 2 cm and a thickness of 0.7 mm. The heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 100°C with a convection heat-transfer coefficient of 524 W/m2 °C. How many times is the heat transfer rate enhanced when the fins are installed on the tube?
