- Addition of fins may not necessarily increase the heat transfer from a surface; itmay even decrease the heat transfer. Comment on this statemearrow_forwardA 2 m X 1.5 m section of wall of an industrial furnace burning gas is not insulated, and the temperature at the outer surface of this section is measured to be 80oC. The temperature of the furnace room is 30oC, and the combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient at the surface of the outer furnace is 10 w/oC. It is proposed to insulate this section of the furnace wall with glass wool insulation (K=0.038 W/moC) in order to reduce the heat loss by 90 percent. Assuming the outer surface temperature of the section remains at about 80oC, determine i) the thickness of the insulation that is needed and ii) the outer surface temperature of the insulation after installation.arrow_forwardExplain how the fins enhance heat transfer from a surface.
