Summary

THIS STUDY PRESENTS AN EFFICIENT NUMERICAL METHOD TO DISCOVER THE OPTIMAL SHAPE FOR A FIN SUBJECT TO BOTH CONVECTIVE AND RADIATIVE HEAT LOSS. PROBLEM FORMULATION IS A FINITE ELEMENT APPROXIMATION TO THE CONDUCTION EQUATION EMBEDDED WITHIN AND SOLVED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE SHAPE OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM. THE APPROACH HANDLES ARBITRARY EQUALITY AND INEQUALITY CONSTRAINTS. GRID POINTS MOVE TO CONFORM TO THE FIN SHAPE DURING THE PROBLEM SOLUTION, REDUCING THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS REQUIRED IN THE SOLUTION.
