Abstract: The performance of treelike fins with varying bifurcation angle, surface emissivity, material, widthtothickness ratio, and base heat rate was examined. Overall system performance was examined computationally. The computational ...

Abstract: The results of a computational study into the thermal performance of thermally radiating fractallike fins are presented. Previous experimental studies have shown that fractal patterns increase the heat transfer surface ...

Abstract: The performance of a porous disk with hierarchical bifurcating flow passages has been examined. The hierarchical bifurcating flow passages in the heat exchanger mimic those seen in the vascular systems of plants and animals. ...
