Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 5 cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 198.06°C. Circular copper alloy fins (k =285 W/m · °C) of outer diameter 6 cm and constant thickness 1 mm are attached to the tube. The space between the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 250 fins per meter length of the tube. Heat is transferred to the surrounding water at T= 43.06°C, with a heat transfer coefficient of 5300 W/m2 · °C. Determine the increase in heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as a result of adding fins and fin effectiveness

Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 5
cm and whose walls are maintained at a temperature of 198.06°C.
Circular copper alloy fins (k =285 W/m C) of outer diameter 6 cm and
constant thickness 1 mm are attached to the tube. The space between
the fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 250 fins per meter length of the tube.
Heat is transferred to the surrounding water at T= 43.06°C, with a heat
