Length of fin Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Length of fin?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
FL=P-(2hc)(4NF)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
FL=25m-(212000mm)(48)
Next Step Convert Units
FL=25m-(212m)(48)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
FL=25-(212)(48)
Next Step Evaluate
FL=0.03125m
LAST Step Rounding Answer
FL=0.0312m

Length of fin Formula Elements

FAQs on Length of fin

What is the formula to find Length of fin?
The formula of Length of fin is expressed as Fin Length = (Perimeter-(2*Height of Crack))/((4*Number of Fins)). Here is an example- 0.03125 = (25-(2*12))/((4*8)).
How to calculate Length of fin?
With Perimeter (P), Height of Crack (hc) & Number of Fins (NF) we can find Length of fin using the formula - Fin Length = (Perimeter-(2*Height of Crack))/((4*Number of Fins)).
Can the Length of fin be negative?
Yes, the Length of fin, measured in Length can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Length of fin?
Length of fin is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Length of fin can be measured.
