Radial systems (cont.)
– Fin : Extended surface used to enhance heat transfer between solid and an
adjoining fluid.
- Example: engine heads on motorcycles, cooling electric power transformers,
And tubes with attached fins in air-conditioner.
Three ways to increase heat transfer rate
1. Increasing fluid velocity (costly)
2. Reducing ambient temperature (impractical)
3. Increasing surface area across which convection occurs.
Nature and Rationale (cont.)
–The rate of which energy is convected to the fluid from any point on the fin
surface must be balanced by the net rate at which energy reaches that point.
–Temperature changes in transverse direction with the fin are small.
–Hence, assume that the temperature is uniform across the fin thickness. Assume steady
state conditions.The thin-fin approximation.
• Extended surfaces may exist in many situations but are commonly used as
fins to enhance heat transfer by increasing the surface area available for
convection (and/or radiation). They are particularly beneficial when h is small,
as for a gas and natural convection.
• Some typical fin configurations:
Straight fins of (a) uniform and (b) non-uniform cross sections; (c) annular
fin, and (d) pin fin of non-uniform cross section.
