Fin Efficiency Library Fin Efficiency Index
Two functions are provided for each of the following fin geometries. One function determines the fin efficiency in terms of dimensional variables such as the fin dimensions, thermal conductivity, and heat transfer coefficient. The second function accepts the non-dimensional product of the fin parameter, m, and the fin length, L. Both the dimensional and non-dimensional fin efficiency functions are described for each fin geometry. Fin efficiencies are discussed in Section 1.6.3 of Nellis and Klein.
