A transformer is to be cooled via forced air convection. To increase the effectiveness of thecooling, Alloy 1095 cast aluminum fins are attached to the top of the transformer overwhich air is blown (negligible thermal contact resistance between the transformer and thefins). The fins are 2 cm thick and 7 cm long and span the entire length of the transformer,and the transformer is 7 cm wide and 10 cm long. Air leaves the cooling fan at 25°C
.a) Decide how to model the fins before performing any real analysis. Youare willing to accept some error in your analysis and so you will either model thefins as having adiabatic tips or being infinitely long. You expect the average convectioncoefficient over the heat transfer surfaces for this system to be around 50 W m2– K⁄ .Which tip condition should you use for the fins in your analysis?
b) Modeling the transformer as being isothermal, determine the average convectioncoefficient over the heat transfer surfaces. Account for heat transfer from the…
Circular cooling fins of diameter D = 1 mm andlength L = 25.4 mm, made of copper (k = 400 W/m·K), areused to enhance heat transfer from a surface that is maintainedat temperature Ts1 = 132°C. Each rod has one end attached tothis surface (x = 0), while the opposite end (x = L) is joinedto a second surface, which is maintained at Ts2 = 0°C. Theair flowing between the surfaces and the rods is also at T` =0°C, and the convection coefficient is h = 100 W/m2·K.(a) Express the function u(x) = T(x) - T` along a fin, andcalculate the temperature at x = L/2. (b) Determine the rate of heat transferred from the hot surface through each fin and the fin effectiveness. Is the use of fins justified? Why? (c) What is the total rate of heat transfer from a 10-cm by 10-cm section of the wall, which has 625 uniformly distributed fins? Assume the same convection coefficient for the fin and for the unfinned wall surface.

3. A coil-shaped cooling pipe is made of SS-304 material. This pipe is 1 ft long, 0.4 inch outside diameter, and inch inside diameter. This coil cooling pipe is used to cool the water in the bath. The temperature of the inner coil pipe is 40oF while the outer coil in contact with water is 80oF. The thermal conductivity of SS-304 is a function of temperature where k(T) = 7.75 + (7.78 x 10-3).T where k is in Btu/h.ft.oF and T is in oF. Calculate the rate of heat dissipation in watts! (1287.7)
