Heat Transfer in Fins Experiment

This document describes an experiment on heat transfer through extended surfaces (fins). The objectives are to determine the convection heat coefficient (h) and temperature distribution along the fins. It provides data tables with temperature measurements at different points along aluminum fins and calculations to determine the theoretical temperature values using a heat transfer equation. The experimental and analytical temperature values are compared in Table 3.
