Lectures 2.2 - Extended Surfaces

The document discusses heat transfer from extended surfaces. It explains that extended surfaces, such as fins, increase the surface area for heat transfer compared to the bare surface area. It presents examples like car radiators and motorcycle engines that use fins. The analysis section derives the heat equation for a fin by applying an energy balance on a differential element. It shows the heat transfer in due to conduction and out due to convection. Homework problems are assigned from the textbook to solve related to cylindrical fins. Further reading and video lectures are recommended on the topic.
