10 Questions MCQ Test Heat Transfer | Test: Heat Dissipation From Extended Surface - 2
Consider the following statements regarding fin of minimum weight
1. The weight saved by using the triangular fin is 44%.
2. The difference in weight between a fin in shape of circular arc and the fin of triangular shape is very large.
3. The triangular shape fin is regarded as best shape as it is much easier to manufacture.
4. Weight of fin is of paramount importance for the design of cooling device used in aircraft.
Which of the above are correct?
1. The weight saved by using the triangular fin is 44%.
2. The difference in weight between a fin in shape of circular arc and the fin of triangular shape is very large.
3. The triangular shape fin is regarded as best shape as it is much easier to manufacture.
4. Weight of fin is of paramount importance for the design of cooling device used in aircraft.
The difference in weight between a fin in shape of circular arc and the fin of triangular shape is very small.
Fin efficiency is defined as the ratio of the heat transferred across the fin surface to the theoretical heat transfer across an equal area held at
Usually fins are provided to increase the rate of heat transfer but fin also acts as insulation which one of the following non-dimensional number decides this factor
The effectiveness of a fin will be maximum in an environment with
Effectiveness of the fin is given by
Hence, Effectiveness of the fin will be more in free convection than forced convection.
Fins are used to increase the heat transfer rate from surface by
Since area is crucial in any of the mode of heat transfer hence by increasing effective surface area heat transfer rate can be enhanced.
Efficiency of a fin with insulated tip is
Efficiency of fin with insulated tip = 
The insulated tip temperature of a rectangular longitudinal fin having an excess (over ambient root temperature of θ0) is
Temperature distribution
A thermocouple in a thermowell measures the temperature of hot gas flowing through the pipe for the most accurate measurement of temperature, the thermowell should be made of
Consider the following statement pertaining to large heat transfer rate using fins
1. Fins should be used on the side where heat transfer coefficient is small
2. Long and thick fins should be used
3. Short and thin fins should be used
4. Thermal conductivity of fin material should be large
Which of the above statements are correct ?
Addition of fin to the surface increases the heat transfer. It
