The correct option is A
Thin, closely spaced fins
Fin effectiveness,
ϵ=Heat transfer with fin: QFinHeat transfer without fin: Q=QFinQ
QFin=√KPhPθ∘ for long fin
QFin=hAθ∘
ϵ=√KAhPθ∘hAθ∘=√KAhPhA=√kPhA
ϵ∝√P;andϵ∝1√A
For highest fin effectiveness, the perimeter of fin should be large and cross- sectional area should be low. It means, for a large value of perimeter, fins should be closely spaced (to increase the total number of fins ) and for lower value of cross-sectional area, it should be thin.
