    Example : Steam in a heating system flows through tubes whose outer diameter is 3cm and
    whose wall are maintained at a temperature of 120°C.Circular aluminium alloy fins (k = 180
    W/m.°C) of outer diameter 6cm and constant thickness at 2mm, are attached with tubes. The
    space between two fins is 3mm and there are 200 fins per meter length of the tube. The heat is
    transferred to the surrounding air at 25°C with h = 60 W/m2.°C. Determine the increase in
    heat transfer from the tube per meter of its length as a result of adding fins.
