Optimization of a 3-D thermally asymmetric rectangular fin

초록

The non-dimensional fin length for optimum heat loss from a thermally asymmetric rectangular fin is represented as a function of the ratio of the bottom surface Biot number to the top surface Biot number, fin tip surface Biot number and the non-dimensional fin width. Optimum heat loss is taken as 98% of the maximum heat loss. For this analysis, three dimensional separation of variables method is used. Also, the relation between the ratio of the bottom surface Biot number to the top surface Biot number and the ratio of the right surface Biot number to the left surface Biot number is presented.
