Mention three types of fins
Mention three applications of fins
How wou!d the use of fins reduce the rate of heat transfer?
Differentiate between fin effectiveness and fin efficiency
Determine the amount of heat transferred through an iron fin of length 50 mm. w
thickness § mm. assume k= 210 kU/m.hr °C and h =42 ki/m? hr °C for the material of the fin and
the temperature atthe base of the fin as 80 °C. Also determine the temperature atthe tip of the fin,

b) Define the following (i) poo! boiling (ii) nucleate boiling (ii) dropwise condensation (9
¢) Water is to be boiled at atmospheric pressure in a mechanically polished stainless-stee! pan
placed on top of a heating unit, The inner surface of the bottom of the pan is maintained at 111
°C. if the diameter of the bottom of the pan is 0.3 sn, determine (i) the rate of heat transfer to the
water (i) the rate of evaporation of the water (Use 6 = 0.0589 Nim, n= 1, and Cst'=0.0130 [13]
