Circular fins are employed around the cylinder of a lawn mower engine to dissipate heat. The fins are made of aluminum are 0.3-m
thick, and extend 2 cm from base to tip. The outside diameter of the engine cylinder is 0.3 m. Design operating conditions are Tai 30°C and h-12 Wm2.K. The maximum allowable cylinder temperature is 300°C. Estimate the amount of heat transfer from a single fin. How many fins are required to cool a 3-kw engine operating at 30% thermal efficiency, if 50% of the total heat given off is transferred by the fins?

Answer:
Half-wave rectifier converts an AC signal into a DC signal. It's called a half-wave because it only rectify the positive part of an AC signal.
AC Signal = An electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative voltage.
DC Signal = An electrical signal that only has positive voltage.
Rectify = A fancy word for converting something.
Adding a capacitor helps the positive part of the signal stay on longer. This work because the capacitor stores energy kinda like a battery. During the negative part of the AC signal, the energy stored in the capacitor will be drained and used, then the cycle repeats.
The load resistor is just there to prevent a short circuit from happening.
