| Abstract |
This study analyzes and optimizes a design for a trapezoidal profile straight fin using one-dimensional analytical method. The heat transfer, fin length and fin height are opti-mized as a function of fin volume, fin shape factor and fin base length. In this optimization, convection characteristic number over fin surface and that of fluid inside fin wall are con-sidered. One of the results shows that the maximum heat loss increases as fin volume in-creases and both fin shape factor and fin base length decrease. |
