Numerical Modeling of Right Circular Cylindrical Fin of Finite Length Subjected to Conduction and Convection Losses in Transient State

EasyChair Preprint 7636

Abstract

Fins are employed for the purpose of enhancing heat transfer from the base of the component, a known fact. In this paper the performance calculation for uniform cross section circular fin is done by transient analysis. The necessary numerical equations are derived by applying energy balance. Obtained results were compared with standard results. Variation of temperature over the surface of the fin is assumed to be in one dimension only. The equations were checked for forced convection. Stability criteria were obtained for different boundary conditions. Steady state analysis eliminates the influence of temperature increase when subjected to constant heat flow. This condition is considered and calculations were done for nodes as well as complete system.
