Q. Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 5 cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 130 °C. Circular aluminum alloy 2024-T6 fins k = 186 W/m.K of outer diameter 6 cm and constant thickness 1 mm are attached to the tube. The space between the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 250 fins per length of the tube. Heat is transferred to the surrounding air at 25 °C, with a heat transfer coefficient of 40W/m².K. Determine: 1. The increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as result of adding fins. 2. The efficiency of the fins. 3. Effectiveness of the fins 4. Temperature at mid-point of the fins. Note: Equations and any other data required can be taken from textbook/handbook. 130°C 25°C

Q. Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 5 cm and whose walls
are maintained at a temperature of 130 °C. Circular aluminum alloy 2024-T6 fins k = 186 W/m.K
of outer diameter 6 cm and constant thickness 1 mm are attached to the tube. The space between
the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 250 fins per length of the tube. Heat is transferred to the
surrounding air at 25 °C, with a heat transfer coefficient of 40W/m2.K. Determine:
1. The increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as result of adding fins.
2. The efficiency of the fins.
3. Effectiveness of the fins
4. Temperature at mid-point of the fins.
Note: Equations and any other data required can be taken from textbook/handbook.
