DIMENSIONAL STEADY STATE FIN
EQUATION (LONG FIN)
3. FINS
When heat transfer by convection between a surface and the fluid surrounding it can be
increased by attaching to the surface thin strips of metal called fins.
Figure: Fin
In heat change applications a finned tube
arrangement might be used to remove heat from a
hot liquid. The heat transfer from the liquid to the
finned tube is by convection. The heat is conducted
through the material and finally dissipated to the
surrounding by convection.

Consider one dimensional fin exposed to a
surrounding fluid at temperature T∞. The
temperature at the base (x=0) of fin 𝑻˳ .
To develop a one dimensional steady state
equation for fin of uniform cross- section.
Let us consider a differential volume
element of thickness dx. The surface area
for convection, of which is pdx∕hpdx(T-
T∞).
