Question
Consider a single fin with circular cross-section as shown in the figure below.
Geometrical parameters of the fin :
• r = 4 mm
• L = 10 cm
Fin material properties:
• Fin thermal conductivity: k = 200 W/mK
Thermal boundary conditions:
• Base temperature of the fin: Tbase = 80°C
• Air temperature: Tair = 25°C
• Convective heat transfer coefficient : h= 10 W/m²K

a) Express the heat transfer problem through the fin as a thermal resistance network, derive equations for the unknown temperatures T, and T₂
representing the average temperatures for the control volumes shown in the figure above.
b) Express the equations derived in a) in the form of AT = b where T: unknown temperature vector and A: coefficient matrix and solve for T₁
and T₂
c) Now, imagine a very thin wire is located at the center of the fin. The electrical current that goes through the wire generates heat uniformly
along the length of the wire. The wire generates heat q = 2 W/m. Update the energy balance equations accordingly.
