Circular aluminum alloy 2024-T6 fins k = 186 W/m.K of outer diameter 6 cm and constant thickness 1 mm are attached to the tube. The space between the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 250 fins per length of the tube. Heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 25 °C, with a heat transfer coefficient of 40W/m².K.

A pipe carries hot molten lead from one part of a factory floor to another. The mass flow rate of lead is 0.05 kg/s. While trying to figure out the heat loss from the pipe, you found that over a 2-m length of he pipe the lead temperature drops from 580 C to 557.C. What is the rate at which thermal energy is being lost from the lead carrying pipe in this 2-m section? Use the property table to find out properties of lead as needed.
My buddy is starting to get hypothermic (body temperature 306 K) during an epic backcountry ski adventure. Since I'm quite warm (body temperature 310 K), I decide to get in a sleeping bag with him to try and warm him up. What heat transfer mechanism will be most responsible for heating him up? For simplicity, ignore any internal temperature differences across my body (that is, assume my skin temperature is also 310 K). Use numbers to support your answer (for human skin, you can use the following values: surface area A = 1:50 m2, emissivity = 0:970, thickness d = 0:0250 m, thermal conductivty 0:200 JmsK)
A 50-mm thick plate of carbon steel (AISI 1010) is annealed with a reheat stage taking the steel from its initial uniform temperature of 200 C to a minimum final temperature of 550 C. HEating is effected in a gas-fired furnace where products of combustion at Tamb = 800 C maintain a convection coefficient of h = 100 W/m^2K on both sides of the plate. How long should the plate be left in the furnace? Substantiate with relevant analysis and calculations.
