β¦ Synopsis
An experimental investigation of heat dissipation from vertically stacked fin arrays subjected to varying air velocities was carried out. The fin arrays essentially form the heated wall of a narrow duct under forced air flow. Although heat dissipation is primarily by convection to the airstream, radiation to the cooler shrouding wall is also signitieant. Results show that for a finned duet wall, the Nusselt numbers fall within the limits of flow between parallel plates and flow in a square duct. An empirical equation is proposed for the range of geemetrieal fin parameters and velocities encountered in our studies. A design procedure and design charts for predicting heat dissipation from a I'm array under specified maximum design conditions are also given.
