REVIEW OF ENHANCEMENT OF HEAT TRANSFER FROM RECTANGULAR FIN ARRAYS
Abstract
Heat transfer removal
rate from surfaces is great importance in many engineering applications. For
many industrial applications like automotive, air conditioning, electronic
cooling, spacecraft and aircraft applications, internal heat generation can
cause overheating problems that may result in system failure, short machine
life, need of maintenance and low system reliability. To solve such problems
passive cooling techniques are widely used. This article summarizes an
extensive literature review of rectangular fin structures that is much-used
heat transfer enhancement technique with a high efficiency rate and a low cost.
Moreover, in this study not only solid rectangular fin structures are studied
but also inclined, perforated and staggered type rectangular fin studies are
summarized. To increase the heat transfer rates and Nusselt number
distributions, designers should optimize the parameters such as fin number, fin
shape, fin height, fin diameter and inter-fin distance ratio for all of the fin
types. In the optimization process of those components, designers should have
experience with the fin design procedure; without the necessary experience and
knowledge, instead of increasing the heat transfer rates, fin surfaces can
resist and block the incoming air flow which will affect heat transfer rate
adversely. This review is a guideline for designers presenting how rectangular
fin arrays are used to enhance heat transfer rates.
