A pin fin of uniform, cross-sectional area is fabricated of an aluminum alloy with a thermal conductivity of 160 W/m K. The fin diameter is 4mm, and the fin is exposed to convective conditions characterized by a convection coefficient of 220 W/m^2K. It is reported that the fin efficiency is 65 %. Determine the fin length and the fin effectiveness. Assume the fin length is very long compared to its diameter.

An aluminum transmission line with a diameter of 20 mm has an electrical resistance of R'elec= 2.636 × 10-4 Ω/m and carries a current of 700 A. The line is subjected to frequent and severe cross winds, increasing the probability of contact between adjacent lines, thereby causing sparks and creating a potential fire hazard for nearby vegetation. The remedy is to insulate the line, but with the adverse effect of increasing the conductor operating temperature. (a) Calculate the conductor temperature...
