Considering fins with adiabatic tips, plot the fin efficiency, n,, as a function of length (from 1 to 20 cm) for fins made of Inconel 625 (a high temperature alloy of k = 20 W/m-K) with the following geometries: a. A rectangular straight fin with a width of 5 cm and a thickness of 0.5 cm b. A parabolic straight fin with a width of 5 cm and a thickness of 0.5 cm at the base. c. A rectangular pin fin (cylindrical) with a diameter of 1.8 cm. d. A triangular pin fin with a diameter of 1.8 cm at the base. For (a-d) assume that the convection coefficient is h= 8 W/m²-K in all circumstances. For better comparison, please plot all four cases in the same graph.

Considering fins with adiabatic tips, plot the fin efficiency, n, as a function of length (from 1 to 20 cm)
for fins made of Inconel 625 (a high temperature alloy of k = 20 W/m-K) with the following geometries:
a. A rectangular straight fin with a width of 5 cm and a thickness of 0.5 cm
b. A parabolic straight fin with a width of 5 cm and a thickness of 0.5 cm at the base.
c. A rectangular pin fin (cylindrical) with a diameter of 1.8 cm.
d. A triangular pin fin with a diameter of 1.8 cm at the base.
For (a-d) assume that the convection coefficient is h= 8 W/m²-K in all circumstances. For better
comparison, please plot all four cases in the same graph. Comment on the general rules for fin selection
if you need to design a fin system.
