Fin shape thermal optimization using Bejan's constructal theory
"The book contains research results obtained by applying Bejan's constructal theory to the study and therefore the optimization of fins, focusing on T-shaped and Y-shaped ones" --from abstract.
Introduction: General introduction -- General overview on heat transfer -- Conservation equations -- Dimensionless group -- Units and conversion factors -- Overview of heat transfer on extended surfaces -- State of the art in theT-shaped fins -- II. Methods of analysis: Thermal exchange basis -- Models: T-shaped fins -- Y-shaped fins -- Modular systems of Y-shaped fins -- Heat removal vs. pressure drops -- Conclusions -- Appendix: Constructal theory.
