Abstract: |
||||
Extended surfaces commonly known as fins, offer an economical and trouble free solutions in many situations demanding natural convection heat transfer. Heat sinks in the form of fin arrays horizontal and vertical surfaces used in variety of engineering applications, studies of heat transfer and fluid flow associated with such arrays are of considerable engineering significance. The main controlling variable generally available to designer is geometry of fin arrays. Considering the above fact natural convection heat transfer from triangular fin arrays have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. Fin optimization is useful to go through the exercise of optimizing a fin in order to achieve the high rate of heat transfer per volume of fin material. The result of this optimization provides general guidelines relative to the dimensionless characteristics of a well-designed fin. |
