A square aluminum fin having base temperature of 100ºC, 5 mm width, and 5 cm length is surrounded by water at 40ºC. Using h of 400 W/m^2?K, compare the heat transfer of the fin predicted by the three conditions: a) very long fin, b) adiabatic tip, and c) uniform convection heat transfer over the fin, including the tip. Assume a width of 1 m.
