🔥 Rectangular Fin Heat Conduction
Analyze fin efficiency, effectiveness, and heat dissipation for straight rectangular fin geometries.
📝 Fin Configuration
Rectangular Fin Theory:
Q = √(hPkA) × (T₀ - T∞) × tanh(mL)
Where:
• m = √(hP/kA)
• P = 2(w + t) = Perimeter
• A = w × t = Cross-sectional area
• η = tanh(mL)/(mL) = Fin efficiency
• ε = Q/(hA_total(T₀ - T∞)) = Effectiveness
• Q = Heat transfer rate [W]
• h = Convection coefficient [W/m²·K]
• k = Thermal conductivity [W/m·K]
• L = Fin length [m]
