Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i.e., 20°C. Its width is 5.0 cm; thickness is 1.0 mm; thermal conductivity is 200 W/m-K, and its base temperature is 40°C. The heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2-K. Estimate: (a) fin temperature (in °C) at a distance of 5.0 cm from the base, Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Add your answer (b) the rate of heat loss (in W) from the entire fin. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Question
Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the
end of the fin is essentially that of the surrounding air, i.e., 20°C. Its width is 5.0 cm; thickness is
1.0 mm; thermal conductivity is 200 W/m-K, and its base temperature is 40°C. The heat transfer
coefficient is 20 W/m2.K. Estimate: (a) fin temperature (in °C) at a distance of 5.0 cm from the
base,
Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Add your answer
(b) the rate of heat loss (in W) from the entire fin.
