ShareTWO-DIMENSIONAL FIN PERFORMANCE.
Author(s) : LOOK D. C. Jr
Type of article: Article
Summary
THE AUTHOR POINTS OUT THAT A COMMON ASSUMPTION WHEN ANALYSING AN EXTENDED SURFACE IS THAT TEMPERATURE IN A FIN VARIES ONLY WITH DISTANCE FROM THE ROOT. THIS IS CERTAINLY UNTRUE FOR A HORIZONTAL FIN WHERE THE CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER MAY DIFFER BETWEEN UPWARDS FACING AND DOWNWARDS FACING SURFACES. THIS IS PARTICULARLY SO WHEN THE FIN MATERIAL HAS A LOW THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY. THE BIOT NUMBER, LINKING CONVECTION, CONDUCTIVITY, AND THICKNESS, IS USED AS A COMPARATIVE PARAMETER. THE PAPER SHOWS THE SURFACE PERFORMANCE IS OF GREATER IMPORTANCE THAN CONDITIONS AT THE FIN TIP. D.W.H.
