A straight fin is made from copper (k = 388 W/m-K) and is 0.5 cm in diameter and 30 cm long. The temperature at the base of the

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The rate of transfer of heat is 0.119 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the fin, D = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

Length of the fin, l =30 cm = 0.3 m

Base temperature, $T_{b} = 75^{\circ}C$

Air temperature, $T_{infty} = 20^{\circ}$

k = 388 W/mK

h = $20\ W/m^{2}K$

Now,

Perimeter of the fin, p = $\pi D = 0.005\pi \ m$

Cross-sectional area of the fin, A = $\frac{\pi}{4}D^{2}$

A = $\frac{\pi}{4}(0.5\times 10^{-2})^{2} = 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi \ m^{2}$

To calculate the heat transfer rate:

$Q_{f} = \sqrt{hkpA}tanh(ml)(T_{b} - T_{infty})$

where

$m = \sqrt{\frac{hp}{kA}} = \sqrt{\frac{20\times 0.005\pi}{388\times 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi}} = 41.237$

Now,

$Q_{f} = \sqrt{20\times 388\times 0.005\pi\times 6.25\times 10^{- 6}\pi}tanh(41.237\times 0.3)(75 - 20) = 0.119\ W$

4vir4ik [10]

During its lifepsan, the sun's core would keep contracting and heating up.

The temperature will keep increasing to the point where the temperature outside the core will get to hydrogen fusion temperatures.
The sun will grow in surface and eventually became the Red Giant
