About this document
Heat Transfer in Thin Rectangular Fins by gvnagamani is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes modeling heat transfer through thin rectangular fins using the finite element method. It begins by introducing fins and their purpose of enhancing heat transfer. It then presents the governing heat transfer equation for thin fins and assumes a linear temperature distribution within each finite element. Equations are developed for the element conductivity matrix, heat transfer matrix, and heat rate vector which are then assembled into the global system of equations. Examples are provid
