Explanation Given information: Thermal conductivity k of aluminum fin is 237 W / m . K . The heat transfer coefficient is 12 W / m 2 . K . Heat transfer Q ˙ l o n g f i n from a fin under infinitely long fin assumption is expressed as: Q ˙ l o n g f i n = h p k A c ( T b − T ∞ ) In the above equation h - Heat transfer co-efficient p - Perimeter k - Thermal conductivity A c - Cross-sectional area T b - Base temperature T ∞ - Surrounding temperature Heat transfer Q ˙ i n s t i p for an adiabatic fin tip is expressed as: Q ˙ i n s t i p = h p k A c ( T b − T ∞ ) tanh ( a L ) In the above equation a = h p k A c Calculation: The percentage error in using long fin assumption is defined as: % E r r o r = Q ˙ l o n g f i n − Q ˙ i n s t i p Q ˙ i n s t i p Substitute % E r r o r = h p k A c ( T b − T ∞ ) − h p k A c (<
