Analysis of a thermal conductivity

A

longitudinal fin of

rectangular profile

of width

L

=

7 c

m is cooled by forced air at

43

°C

with a velocity

of 2.

4

m/s as shown in Figure P2.1. The fin base temperature is at 1

1

0

°C

. The fin

is required to have a mass of

12

g

ram

of aluminum, which has the d

ensity of

2770

kg/m
