Description
Extended surfaces like fins are frequently employed in engineering applications to enhance the heat transfer performance. To improve the analysis of individual fins and fin assemblies, numerical methods may be a useful tool. This work presents recent advances in modelling the thermal phenomena in single fins, fin assemblies, analysis of transient operating conditions, fins in porous media and louvred fins in heat exchangers.
