Question

Provision of fins on a given heat transfer surface will be more if there are________ .

A.

fewer number of thin fins

B.

fewer number of thick fins

C.

large number of thick fins

D.

large number of thin fins

Answer ( Option D)

large number of thin fins

Solution

Increases in ratio of perimeter P to be cross sectional area  brings  A about improvement in the effectiveness of fins.

Fins are worth keeping only when effectiveness is high                       

A   = Area

       

P = Perimeter

Where, 'h' is the convective heat transfer coefficient and also .

Therefore, to have high effectiveness of fins, fins must be thin.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
