... 2012 26 02 2013 The results of a computational study into the thermal performance of thermally radiating fractal-like fins are presented. Previous experimental studies have shown that fractal patterns increase the heat transfer surface area while simultaneously reducing mass. Two fractal...

...Zenghui Zhao; Richard A. Wirtz Metallic porous structures have proved to be effective in enhancing heat transfer due to the inherent characteristics such as high specific surface area and large pore densities. In this study, structured-porous fins were built from plain weaved copper wire mesh...

...Hie Chan Kang; Gil Woong Jun The present work was conducted to investigate the air-side pressure drop and heat transfer performance of the louver fin-tube heat exchanger for automobile applications. Fourteen kinds of louver fin geometries with different louver pitches and angles were tested...

...Majid Molki; David W. Fasig Aerodynamic heating of an airfoil with a short fin attached to its surface is computationally investigated. This research is motivated by the fact that the gap fillers inserted between the insulation tiles of the space shuttle thermal protection system may sometimes get...

... periphery. A one-dimensional approximate technique called sector method shows a closed agreement with the two-dimensional analysis. The present work gives an improvement on the analysis of Li et al. (2004, “Heat Transfer Enhancement Using Shaped Polymer Tubes: Fin Analysis,” ASME J. Heat Transfer, 126, pp...

...Sung Kook Hong; Dong-Ho Rhee; Hyung Hee Cho The present paper has investigated the effects of fins on the flow and heat∕mass transfer characteristics for the impingement∕effusion cooling with crossflow. The circular or rectangular fins are installed between two perforated plates, and the crossflow...
