Summary

HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE APPARATUS HAVING PARALLEL PLATE-FINS WERE INVESTIGATED THROUGH EXPERIMENTS AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS. THEN, THE OPTIMUM ASPECT RATIO H/D, WHICH GIVES THE MAXIMUM NONDIMENSIONAL AVERAGE HEAT FLUX, WAS FOUND TO EXIST FOR A GIVEN COMBINATION OF THREE PARAMETERS: GRASHOF NUMBER, PRANDTL NUMBER AND THE NONDIMENSIONAL FIN PITCH.
