Consider a very long rectangular fin attached to a flat surface such that the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially t
hat of the surrounding air, i.e. 20°C. Its width is 5.0 cm; thickness is 1.0 mm; thermal conductivity is 200 W/m·K; and base temperature is 40°C. The heat transfer coefficient is 20 W/m2 ·K. Estimate the fin temperature at a distance of 5.0 cm from the base and the rate of heat loss from the entire fin.
