Problem

A pipe of radius R0 has a circular fin of radius R1 and thickness 2B on it (as shown in the figure below). The outside wall temperature of the pipe is Tw and the ambient air temperature is Ta. Neglect the heat loss from the edge of the fin (of thickness 2B). Assume heat is transferred to the ambient air by surface convection with a constant heat transfer coefficient h.

• a) Starting with a shell thermal energy balance, derive the differential equation that describes the radial temperature distribution in the fin.

• b) Obtain the radial temperature distribution in the circular fin.

• c) Develop an expression for the total heat loss from the fin.

Solution

From a thermal energy balance over a thin cylindrical ring of width Dr in the circular fin, we get Rate of Heat In - Out + Generation =

Accumulation The accumulation term (at steady-state) and the generation term will be zero. So,

where h is the (constant) heat transfer coefficient for surface convection to the ambient air and qr is the heat flux for conduction in the radial direction. Dividing by 4p B Dr and taking the limit as Dr tends to zero,
