DOI: 10.1115/1.4031640http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/2156We consider the heat transfer problem associated with a periodic array of rectangular fins subjected to convection heat transfer with a uniform heat transfer coefficient. Our analysis differs from the classical approach as (i) we consider two-dimensional (2D) heat conduction and (ii) the wall, to which the fins are attached, is included in the analysis.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Statescritical Biot numberfin effectivenessheat convectionHeat transferoptimum finrectangular finuniform heat transfer coefficientResearch Subject Categories::TECHNOLOGY::Engineering physicsArticle
