The total heat flow from a fin array is the sum of heat flow from the
fin body and the heat flow from the base surface without fin and can
be written as
The temperature difference between a fin base and the
fluid (B) due to total heat flow rate at the fin base can
be expressed as

Engine Warmup
As a cold engine heats up to steady-state temperature, thermal expansion
occurs in all components.
The magnitude of this expansion will be different for each component,
depending on its temperature and material.
Engine bore limits the expansion of pistons.
In cold weather, the startup time can be as high as 2030 minutes.
Some parts of the engine reach steady state much sooner and some do not.
Fairly, normal conditions may be experienced within few minutes, but it
can take as long as an hour to reach optimum fuel consumption rates.
Engines are built to operate best at steady-state conditions.
Full power and optimum fuel economy may not be realized until this
condition is reached.
