rate 𝑞̇ in the embedded portion of the rod. 𝑞̇ = 1 × 106W/m3 L = 50 mm
k = 25 W/m.K
Considering the steady state and the one-
dimensional conduction through the rod, the portion exposed to the air as an infinite fin, and neglecting
heat transfer by radiation, find
(a) the expression of the temperature Tb at the base of the exposed portion of the rod.
(b) the expression of the temperature To at the end of the embedded portion of the rod.
Using the numerical values shown in the figure, calculate
(c) temperatures Tb and To.

Ex.2.2
Consider a thin flat plate of length L, thickness t, and width W (where W>>L), connected to two large heat
sinks maintained at temperature To (see figure below). The bottom surface of the plate is well insulated.
The top surface is exposed to a uniform heat flux q".
(a) Establish the differential equation to determine the temperature distribution T(x) in steady state.
(b) Solve the resulting differential equation in order to obtain the expression of T(x).
(c) Deduce the expression for the heat rate dissipated in the two heat sinks.

tip of the fin. 20 mm

b) Calculate the resulting heat rate, if the side to which the h1 = 10 W/m2.K fins are
attached is changed (on the hot fluid side).
c) Explain why heat rates are different. Which side is most suitable to be equipped with the
fins?

Ex.2.4 To cool a 60 W electronic chip, on its exterior surface an array of fins (heat sink), commercially
available, is attached, as illustrated in the table below. The different types of heat sink, presented in the
table, are classified according to their thermal resistance Rt. Select an appropriate heat sink allowing the
temperature of the chip not to exceed 90oC in an ambient air environment at T∞= 30oC.

Ex.2.5 Water is heated by immersing hot combustion gas tubes (Tg = 750 K et h=30 W/m2.K) in a tank. In
each tube, four rectangular fins of thickness t = 5 mm are inserted. The tubes and fins are made of copper
(k = 400 W/m.K). If the temperature at the surface of the tube is Ts = 350 K, what is the heat rate transferred
to the water per unit length of the tube?

Ex.2.6 An air heating system consists of a steel tube (k = 20 W/m.K), of internal and external diameters
respectively r1 = 13 mm and r2 = 16 mm, equipped with eight (8) longitudinal fins, each of thickness t = 3
mm. The fins extend to a concentric tube of radius r3 = 40 mm and of insulated exterior surface (see figure
below). Water at temperature T∞,i = 90 °C flows inside the steel tube, while air at temperature T∞,o = 25 °C
flows through the passages delimited by the fins and the concentric tube.

(a) Represent the thermal circuit scheme of the system by specifying the expressions of the
different thermal resistances
(b) If hi = 5000 W/m2.K and ho = 200 W/m2.K; calculate the resulting heat rate per unit length.
