Pin fins are to be specified for use in an industrial cooling application. The fins will be subjected to a gas in cross flow at V = 10 m/s . The cylindrical tin has a diameter of D = 15 mm, and the cross-sectional area is the same for each configuration shown in the sketch. For fins of equal length and therefore equal mass, which fin has the largest heat transfer rate? Assume the gas properties are those of air at T = 350 K . Hint: Assume the fins can be treated as infinitely long and apply the Hilpert correlation to the tin of circular cross section.

Did you calculate the pressure difference between two locations using the correct specific weight?
Did you assume that the pressures in fluid are the same in a horizontal plane even though they are in different tubes?
Are the calculated pressures in a column of fluid always higher at lower elevations?
Did you account for the fact that the two horizontal tubes of the U-tube are above the ground?
Concepts: The pressure in a fluid is a function of the specific weight of the fluid and the height relative to a reference.
Pressure is constant in a horizontal plane of a continuous mass of fluid.
