Answer the following questions:

1) Consider a cylindrical fin of unit length and with uniform cross-section area A. The
base is at a temperature of 125 0C (TB) and the end is insulated. The fin is exposed to
an ambient temperature of 250C. The one-dimensional heat transfer equation for the
𝑑 𝑑𝑇
fin is governed by (𝑘𝐴 ) − ℎ𝑃(𝑇 − 𝑇∞ ) = 0. Calculate the temperature
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥
distribution along the fin for four number of cells and then compare the result with the
𝑇−𝑇 𝑐𝑜𝑠ℎ 𝑛(𝐿−𝑥) ℎ𝑃
analytical solution 𝑇 −𝑇∞ = 𝐶𝑜𝑠ℎ 𝑛𝐿 where 𝑛2 = 𝑘𝐴 and L is the length of the fin.
𝐵 ∞
Data L = 1.0 m, hP/(KA) = 25/m2 (note that KA is constant)
