Heat Transfer Handbook part 23. The Heat Transfer Handbook provides succinct hard data, formulas, and specifications for the critical aspects of heat transfer, offering a reliable, hands-on resource for solving day-to-day issues across a variety of applications. | EXTENDED SURFACES 211 Figure Efficiencies of convecting spines. Longitudinal Radiating Fins Unlike convecting fins for which exact analytical solutions abound few such solutions are available for radiating fins. Consider the longitudinal fin of rectangular profile shown in Fig. and let the fin radiate to free space at 0 K. The differential equation governing the temperature in the fin is d1T 2oe 4 --- ---T4 dx2 k with the boundary conditions T x 0 Tb and dT dx 0 x b where e is the emissivity of the tin surfaee ami a is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant o x IO-8 W m2 K4 .

Because Tt is not known the solution involves a trial-and-error procedure. Sen and Trinh 1986 reported the solution of eqs. and when the surface heat dissipation is proportional to Tm rather than T4. Their solution appears in terms of hypergeometric functions which bear a relationship to Hie incomplete he tit function. Kraus et al. 2001 provide an extensive collection of graphs to evaluate the performance or radiati rig fins of difi etent fireflies.
