The document discusses calculating the increase in heat transfer from tubes due to adding circular aluminum alloy fins. It provides the properties of the fins, assumptions about operating conditions and heat transfer, and the analysis to determine the heat transfer from a single fin and the total heat transfer from the finned tube. The increase in heat transfer per meter of the tube length due to the fins is determined to be 5380 W, representing a factor of 10 increase over the unfinned tube. This explains the widespread use of finned surfaces to enhance heat transfer.
