A hot surface at 350°C is to be cooled by attaching straight aluminum rectangular fins (k-250 W/m K) with 35 mm length, 70 mm width and 5 mm base thickness. Fins are exposed to an ambient air condition of 28°C and heat transfer coefficient is 35 W/m² K. If there are 1750 fins per m² surface area, calculate; a. The heat transfer rate from a single fin. b. The increase in the rate of heat transfer per m² surface area as a result of attaching 1750 fins. c. Determine the overall effectiveness of the fins.
