The fins attached to a heat exchanger-surface are determined to have an effectiveness of 0.9. Do you think the rate of heat transfer from the surface has increased or decreased as a result of the addition of these fins?

The rate of heat transfer has increased.

Explanation:

Heat transfer rate is the rate at which heat energy is dissipated to the ambient from a hot body. The rate of heat transfer is proportional to the available surface area for heat exchange. This means that the greater the exposed surface area for heat exchange, the greater the rate at which heat is lost to the ambient. In introducing the fins to the heat exchange system (fins have a large surface area to volume ratio for maximum exposure to the ambient), one maximizes the available surface area for heat exchange between the material and the ambient, increasing the rate of heat transfer.

i think i backed my dad

a true.

can you make it more obvious. i can't see it properly
