| Abstract |
Comparison of the heat conduction into a trapezoidal fin and the heat loss from the fin by convection is made in this study.Also, the ratio of heat loss from each surface to the total heat loss and the temperature distribution are analyzed using a 3-D analytical method.A trapezoidal fin whose tip height is half the root height is chosen as the model.The results show that the heat transfer rates from the tip and from both sides are comparable with each other as the non-dimensional width and length vary while the heat transfer rate from the bottom and top is dominant. |
