Chemical Engineering > GATE 2020 > Heat Transfer from Fins
Consider an infinitely long rectangular fin exposed to a surrounding fluid at a constant temperature Ta=27°C.
The steady state one dimensional energy balance on an element of the fin of thickness dx at a distance x from its base yields d2θ/dx2=m2θ where θ=Tx-Ta. Tx is the temperature of the fin at the distance x from its base in °C. The value of m is 0.04 cm-1 and the temperature at the base is T0=227°C. The temperature (in °C) at x=25 cm is _______ (round off to 1 decimal place).

Correct : 101.3
