Steam passes into tubes in a heating system whose outer diameter is 3 cm and whose wall is held at a temperature of 120°C. Tubes are connected to circular aluminium alloy fins (k= 180 W/m. ° C) with an outer diameter of 6 cm and a constant thickness of 2 mm. The distance between the two fins is 3 mm and the tube length is 200 fins per meter. With h = 60 W/m2.C, the heat is transmitted to the ambient air at 25°C. Evaluate the increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as a result of adding fins.

Question
Steam passes into tubes in a heating system whose outer diameter is 3 cm and whose
wall is held at a temperature of 120°C. Tubes are connected to circular aluminium
alloy fins (k = 180 W/m. ° C) with an outer diameter of 6 cm and a constant thickness
of 2 mm. The distance between the two fins is 3 mm and the tube length is 200 fins
per meter. With h = 60 W/m2.°C, the heat is transmitted to the ambient air at 25°C.
Evaluate the increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as a result
of adding fins.
