Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

In this study, an optimum fin shape envelope was determined via a theoretical procedure that minimized the fin volume subject to constrained heat transfer rate. A unified analysis is presented for both longitudinal and pin fins with vertical orientation of the fin surface. The analysis was carried out on the assumption of a power law fin temperature distribution. Under certain simplified conditions, this optimization model has been validated. Results obtained from the model are also compared with previously published results for the specific set of designed conditions. From optimization study, practical fin profiles are found under the condensation of quiescent vapor atmosphere.
