Fins Heat Transfer. Consider a surface losing heat to the surroundings by convection. The heat transfer from fins depends upon the thermal property of the material geometry of the fins surface environment conditions which include temperature of the surrounding and temperature at the base.
P perimeter of the fins. Fin spacing and heat transfer area have a significant impact on the complete melting time. The predicted temperature distributions are returned in the right window.
Fin spacing and heat transfer area have a significant impact on the complete melting time.
On this basis the thermal performance coefficients between the fins zone and pcm zone are defined. H air film convective coefficient a exposed surface area of the fins. The fin efficiency and effectiveness are returned at the bottom right. Additionally the distance between the fins must be maintain to allow the cooling fluid to reach all cooling fins and to allow good heat transfer from the heat source to the fins as well.
