THERMAL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF CONVECTIVE-RADIATIVE FIN WITH TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY IN THE PRESENCE OF UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD USING PARTIAL NOETHER METHOD

Abstract

In this paper, thermal performance of convective-radiative straight fin with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity in the presence of uniform magnetic field is analyzed using partial Noether method. The exact analytical solution is used to investigate the effects of magnetic field, convective, radiative, thermo-geometric and thermal conductivity (non-linear) parameters on the thermal performance of the fin. The results reveal that as the magnetic, convective and radiative parameters increase, the temperature of the fin decreases rapidly and by implication, the rate of heat transfer through the fin increases. The study provides a platform for comparison of results of any other method of analysis of the problem with the results of the exact analytical solutions in this paper. Also, such an analytical tool is valuable as a design and optimization approach for large scale (not necessarily in size) finned heat exchangers where each fin/row are analytically analyzed and where the surrounding fluid is influenced by a magnetic field.
