Thermal Characterizations of Exponential Fin Systems

Exponential fins are mathematically analyzed in this paper. Two types are considered: (i) straight exponential fins and (ii) pin exponential fins. The possibility of having increasing or decreasing cross-sectional areas is considered. Different thermal performance indicators are derived. The maximum...
