This paper conveys a numerical simulation of an active enhancement device for natural convection in the interfin spaces of a fin array. A baseline solution for the non-enhanced situation revealed that the confinement created by the walls of adjacent fins and the base surface gave rise to a drastic r

This article is concerned with a distinct instructional technique that facilitates the examination of laminar forced convection flow through a vertical pipe exposed to an external natural convection environment. Literally, one particular case corresponds to external forced convective cooling, which
There are numerous instances where the heat transfer from a fin-and-tube heat exchanger to air takes place primarily via natural convection. The lack of data showing the effect of fin spacing, fin length, and Rayleigh number on the thermal performance of the exchanger prompted this experimentation.
