Summary

THE THEORETICAL BASIS FOR THE LEAST MATERIAL OPTIMIZATION OF CONVECTIVELY COOLED ARRAYS OF LONGITUDINAL, RECTANGULAR FINS IS PRESENTED. IT IS POSSIBLE TO DEFINE THE GEOMETRY AND THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF LEAST MATERIAL, AIR-COOLED NATURAL CONVECTION ARRAYS AND TO IDENTIFY THE ARRAY GEOMETRY YIELDING THE MAXIMUM HEAT DISSIPATION CAPABILITY. ALTERNATELY, THE ADDED MASS OF A FORCED CONVECTION-COOLED FIN ARRAY IS SHOWN TO BE INVERSELY RELATED TO THE AVAILABLE PUMPING POWER AND, AS A CONSEQUENCE, NO SINGLE OPTIMUM GEOMETRY COULD BE DEFINED.
