Extended Surfaces - Fins Fan Fin • Extended surfaces or fins are generally used to enhance convective heat transfer rate between a solid and the surrounding fluid. • A fin extends the surface area of heat transfer. The fin material generally has a high thermal conductivity which is exposed to a flowing fluid. • Fins are often seen in electrical appliances and electronics such as on computer processors and power supplies. It is also used in industrial applications such as heat exchangers and engine cooling.
Type of Fins Rectangular Triangular Annular Pin (Cylindrical) • Fins are designed and selected for a particular purpose and environment. • Rectangular fins are often used in computers for cooling • Annular fins are often used in heat exchangers • Regardless of the shape, the heat transfer occurring in a fin is governed by the same laws. (Conduction, Convection, Radiation)
Primary Modes of Heat Transfer • Conduction: Transfer of heat (internal energy) by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. • For a 1 -D heat transfer problem, the heat flux through a specified cross sectional area can be described by Fourier’s Law. • Convection: Movement of groups of molecules within fluids such as liquids or gases. Involves bulk motion of fluid. • Heat transfer between a solid surface and a moving fluid is governed by the Newton’s law of cooling. How can the cooling efficiency be improved for a fin? • • • Increase the temperature difference between the surface and the fluid. Increase the convection coefficient, . • Change the fluid • Increase velocity (forced convection coefficient) Increase the contact surface area, .
Deriving the Heat Equation for a Fin In order to setup the problem, several assumptions need to be made: • Steady State • Temperature is not a function of time. • Material properties are constant ( and ) • Independent of temperature • No internal heat generation • Uniform convective heat transfer coefficient over surface • One dimensional (1 -D) conduction • Temperature at each location is uniform over • Radiation is negligible
Heat Transfer for a Differential Element The Energy Equation: Internal energy is constant with time. No work is done on the system.
Heat Transfer for a Differential Element where If we rearrange the equation and divide by Take the limit as Where , we obtain: : is from Fourier’s Law of Thermal Conduction. Thus, the differential equation governing heat transfer in fins is:
Expansion of Derivative Assumptions: • Steady State • Temperature is not a function of time. • Material properties are constant ( and ) • Independent of temperature • No internal heat generation • Uniform convective heat transfer coefficient over surface • One dimensional (1 -D) conduction • Temperature at each location is uniform over • Radiation is negligible NOTE: Both the cross sectional area, , and perimeter, , are functions of.
Simplification: Rearrange to get: If , than the equation can be reduced to: The temperature profile in a fin is governed by a 2 nd order, Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). In order to obtain a solution to the homogeneous equation we must have two boundary conditions (at the fin base and tip).
The General Solution of T(x) for a Fin ( Let ) , and In order to obtain an exact solution to the homogeneous equation, two boundary conditions (at the fin base and tip) need to be known.

Estimate Steady State Heat Transfer (Case: Infinitely Long Fin) Heat transfer can be estimated via two methods: 1. Quantify the rate of convection over the entire surface of the fin 2. Quantify the rate of conduction from the fin base Method 1: Method 2:
Ideal Fin (Fin Efficiency) What would the ideal temperature distribution for a fin? Entire fin to be at. Harke This can be thought of the limiting case of infinite thermal conductivity. The ideal (maximum) heat transfer which can occur can be calculated via Method Fin Efficiency, , can be defined as the ratio of the actual heat transfer rate from the fin, , to the ideal heat transfer rate, .
