Fin efficiency is defined in relation to the maximum possible heat transfer rate from the fin for given convective conditions. This maximum possible heat transfer rate is defined on the basis that: The fin has a uniform temperature equal to that of its base The convection heat transfer coefficient is infinite The fin has zero thermal conductivity The fin has a uniform temperature equal to that of the surrounding air The fin is infinitely long

The fin has a uniform temperature equal to that of its base.

Explanation:

Fin -

For the heat transfer study, fins are refereed to as the surface which extends from the object in order to increase the rate of heat transfer from the surrounds via raising the convection.

The performance of the fin is determined by the fin efficiency.

The fin has same temperature same as that of its base.
