How long must a 0.4 cm cylindrical copper fin be if the temperature of its insulated tip exceeds the surrounding air temperature by 20% of T0 – T∞? Consider air temp to be 20°C and ℎ̅ = 28 W/m2K. Book gives answer of 27.3 cm. • You can use figure 4.9a or equation 4.45 in the book to find the right mL for the desired  at the tip.

How long must a 0.4 cm cylindrical copper fin be if the temperature of its insulated tip exceeds the
surrounding air temperature by 20% of T0 – T∞? Consider air temp to be 20°C and ℎ̅ = 28 W/m2K. Book gives answer
of 27.3 cm.
• You can use figure 4.9a or equation 4.45 in the book to find the right mL for the desired  at the tip.

 

• Recall the nondimensional temperature is  = (T – T∞)/(T0 – T∞)
