A heat sink made of an array of fins that have a straight, rectangular cross section is used to cool an electronic micro-chip module, as schematically shown in the figure. The heat sink (base and fins) is made of copper, and each fin is 3 mm thick and 30 mm long. If the fin-base temperature is 85°C and the cooling air is at 25°C with an average convective heat transfer coefficient of ch =100 W/(m2 K), determine the temperature distribution in one fin and the rate of heat transferred per unit width of the fin. If the fins are made of aluminum instead, what is the change in the rate of heat dissipated by the aluminum fin of same thickness? For the numerical analysis, in both the cases, consider a minimum of 11 nodes from the base to tip and convective heat transfer from the fin tip.

Compare the results with the one- dimensional fin analysis

An ant crawls in a straight line at a constant speed of 0.24 m/s for a distance of 3.0 m, beginning in the corner of a square classroom. It then turns exactly 90 degrees to the right, and proceeds an additional 4.00 m, reaching the far corner of the same wall from which it began. If the second leg was also crawled in half the amount of time as required for the first leg, what was the ant’s average speed for the whole trip?

A. 0.80 m/s B. 0.27 m/s C. 0.37 m/s D. 0.44 m/s
