    This document discusses heat transfer through fins, which are extended surfaces that artificially increase the surface area for heat transmission. It describes two types of fins: ones with non-uniform and uniform cross-sections. Equations are presented for calculating the heat transfer through variable cross-section and uniform cross-section fins. Specific cases involving hyperbolic functions are also covered. The document concludes by providing an example problem to calculate the heat given up by a long, thin copper rod exposed to different base and environmental temperatures, with the relevant properties and parameters provided. Students are assigned several homework problems analyzing heat transfer through different fin configurations.

    Heat Transfer from Extended
    Surfaces/Fins
    Extended surface:
    It referrers to a solid that experiences HT by
    conduction (within its boundaries), convection
    and/or radiation (b/w its boundaries &
    surroundings)
    A way of artificially increasing the surface area
    of heat transmission.
    Types of Fins:
    1. Non-uniform x-section
    2. Uniform x-section
    H.T Through Variable x-section Fin
    Consider Fig. 1 below. Let
    Tb = Temp. of base of fin
    T = surrounding temperature
    Ac, As = x-sectional and surface area, respectively.
    dAs = surface area of fin element
    T = Temperature of element
    qx = heat in the element
    qx+dx , q conv. = conductive & convective heat out of the
    element, respectively.
    Thus for S.S system:
    qin - qout = 0

    So, as per Fig.1:

    qx qxdx dqconv. 0 (i)



    (qx )dx hc dAs (T T ) 0 (ii )
    x
    But, q = -KAc(dT/thickness), where Ac = x-
    sectional area, perpendicular to the heat flow.
    So, Eq. (ii) leads to:

    dT hc dAs
    ( Ac ) (T T ) 0 (iii )
