Fins, or extended surfaces, commonly are used in a variety of engineering applications to enhance cooling. Common examples include a motorcycle engine head, a lawnmower engine head, heat sinks used in electronic equipment, and finned-tube heat exchangers in room heating and cooling applications. For long fins, the temperature distribution along the fin is given by the exponential relationship: T T = (T -T Je-ma ambient base ambient where T = temerature(K) hp m VkA h= the transfer coeficient (W/m2 · K) p= perimeter of the fin (m) A= cross-section area of the fin (m²) k= thermal onductivity of the fin material x= distance from the base of the fin (m) What is the appropriate unit for k if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units?
