Fins, or extended surfaces, commonly are used in a variety of engineering applications to enhance cooling. Common examples include a motorcycle engine head, a lawn mower engine head, extended surfaces used in electronic equipment, and finned tube heat exchangers in room heating and cooling applications. Consider aluminum fins of a rectangular profile, which are used to remove heat from a surface whose temperature is100° C . The temperature of the ambient air is 20° C. We are interested in determining how the temperature of the fin varies along its length and plotting this temperature variation. For long fins, the temperaturedistribution along the fin is given by

In the arctic sea, the ice sheets are melting. Let's calculate the temperautre distribution in one such ice sheet. The sheet is 2 m thick. Under the sheet there is ice-water mixture and it can be assumed that the temperature of the bottom surface of the ice sheet is approximately 0°C. Air at -20°C is blowing above the sheet. The convection coefficient of air is 15 W/m².K. The thermal conductivity of ice is 2.2 W/m.K. What is the temperautre of icesheet at its center (i.e., at 1 m from the surface)?

The main body of plenum is a steel vessel of diameter 0.1meters has two semicircle domed ends. During operation is will contain mix of fuel and air at approximately 250OC. The wall of the vessel is 0.03meters thick and the plenum is 0.45meters long. Estimate the rate of heat loss from the vessel when the outside air temperature is 45OC. The thermal conductivity of steel is 45 W/m K and the surface heat transfer coefficient on the air side is 8 W/m2 . On the inside it is 65W/m2 . If it was possible to clad the plenum calculate the reduction in the rate of heat loss. Assume the lagging would be 5mm thick and has a thermal conductivity of 0.05 W/m.
