Efficiency and optimization of an annular fin with combined heat and mass transfer: an analytical solution.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

An analysis was carried out to study the efficiency of annular fin when subjected to simultaneous heat and mass transfer mechanisms. The temperature and humidity ratio differences are the driving forces for the heat and mass transfer, respectively. Analytical solutions are obtained for the temperature distribution over the fin surface when the fin is fully wet. The effect of the atmospheric pressure on the fin efficiency was also studied, in addition to fin optimum dimensions. It is demonstrated that the closed-form solutions for a dry-fin case presented in many text books are special cases for the solutions presented in this paper.
