We have a plate base with the dimensions of 100 mm x 12 mm. We'd like to place 10 square fins symmetrically on this plate. Dimensions and length of the fins are 4 mm x 4mm and 30 mm respectively. Base temperature equals to 120 °C. Material of the fins is aluminium and has a conduction coefficient of 180 W/mk. Air temperature is 20 °C and convection coefficient equals to 60 w/m²K. Please calculate the heat transfer rate, efficiency and effectiveness of the system. (Note: You are also supposed to take the convection from fin tips into account).

Question
We have a plate base with the dimensions of 100 mm x 12 mm. We'd like to place 10 square fins
symmetrically on this plate. Dimensions and length of the fins are 4 mm x 4mm and 30 mm respectively.
Base temperature equals to 120 °C. Material of the fins is aluminium and has a conduction coefficient of
180 w/mk. Air temperature is 20 °C and convection coefficient equals to 60 W/m?K. Please calculate the
heat transfer rate, efficiency and effectiveness of the system. (Note: You are also supposed to take the
convection from fin tips into account).
