Introduction to Heat Transfer
• The science that seeks rate of heat transfer between the material bodies due to
temperature difference.
Modes of Heat transfer
1. Conduction- Heat is transferred through collision between molecules.

Use of Fins
Fins are used to increase the heat transfer rate by reducing the thermal resistance
for a surface.
e.g.
Q1= h1 A1 (Tb-Tf) Air at Temp. Tf
Tb Here h2 > h1
For keeping Q1=Q2
Q2= h2 A2 (Tb-Tf) Tf A1 > A 2
• Cooling of transformers
• Cooling of IC engine
• Economizers in steam power plant

Fin Efficiency
• To maximize the heat transfer from a fin the temperature of
the fin should be uniform (maximized) at the base value of T
•In reality, the temperature drops along the fin, and thus the heat
transfer from the fin is less .To account for the effect we define a fin
efficiency

Fin Effectiveness
The performance of the fins is judged on the basis of the
enhancement in heat transfer relative to the no-fin case.

Problem
Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer
diameter is D1= 3 cm and whose walls are maintained at a
temperature of 120 .C, Circular aluminum alloy fins (k=180
W/m .C) of outer diameter D2=6 cm and constant thickness
t=2 mm are attached to the tubes. The space between the
fins is 3 mm, and thus there are 200 fins per meter length of
the tube. Heat is transferred to the surrounding air at T∞=25
.C, with a combined heat transfer coefficient h=60 W/m2 .C.
