Fins, or extended surfaces, commonly are used in a variety of engineering applications to enhance cooling. Common examples include a motorcycle engine head, a lawnmower engine head, heat sinks used in electronic equipment, and finned-tube heat exchangers in room heating and cooling applications. For long fins, the temperature distribution along the fin is given by the exponential relationship: T T = (T -T Je-ma ambient base ambient where T = temerature(K) hp m VkA h= the transfer coeficient (W/m2 · K) p= perimeter of the fin (m) A= cross-section area of the fin (m²) k= thermal onductivity of the fin material x= distance from the base of the fin (m) What is the appropriate unit for k if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? Show all steps of your work.

An air–fuel mixture is compressed by a piston in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine. The origin of coordinate y is at the top of the cylinder, and y points straight down as shown. The piston is assumed to move up at constant speed VP. The distance L between the top of the cylinder and the piston decreases with time according to the linear approximation L = Lbottom − VPt, where Lbottom is the location of the piston when it is at the bottom of its cycle at time t = 0, as sketched in Fig. At t = 0, the density of the air–fuel mixture in the cylinder is everywhere equal to ?(0). Estimate the density of the air–fuel mixture as a function of time and the given parameters during the piston’s up stroke.
