Abstract: This study details the derivation of a length correction term for computing the heat transfer performance of one-dimensional, straight, convecting-tip fins using the insulated-tip fin solution. Use of this corrected length ...

Abstract: Abstract. This study computes the fin efficiency of thick, cylindrical pin fins with insulated tips, that is, cylindrical pin fins where radial-direction conduction within the fin is significant. For such fins, two-dimensional ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of a numerical study that determined the Nusselt number for hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed, laminar, dissipative flows of pseudoplastic and dilatant fluids through circular ...
