A fin of rectangular profile has a thermal conductivity of 14 W/m C, thickness of 2.0 mm, and length of 23 mm. The base of the fin is maintained at a temperature of 220 o C while the fin is exposed to a convection environment at 23 o C with h=25 W/m2 o C. Calculate heat lost per meter of fin depth for the three tip conditions. (a) Convection, (b) Adiabatic, and (c) T (x=L) = 23 o C.
