A stainless steel rod has a square cross section measuring 1 by 1 cm. The rod length

Question:

A stainless steel rod has a square cross section measuring 1 by 1 cm. The rod length is 8 cm, and k = 18 W/m · ºC. The base temperature of the rod is 300ºC. The rod is exposed to a convection environment at 50ºC with h = 45 W/m2 ∙ ºC. Calculate the heat lost by the rod and the fin efficiency.
