Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pin fin with an insulated tip is 0.5 m long and has a diameter of 0.01 m. If the thermal conductivity is 200 W/mΒ·K and the convection coefficient is 25 W/mΒ²Β·K, calculate its maximum heat transfer efficiency.

πŸ’‘ Hint: You need to determine the total heat transfer based on the parameters given.

Question 2

If a pin fin cools a component from 100Β°C to 50Β°C over a period, and you know the heat transfer at the tip, how would you find the efficiency of the pin fin?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Evaluate how much energy is actually passing through versus what could ideally pass through.
