โœฆ Synopsis

In this study, the effects of radiation and convection heat transfer in porous media are considered. The geometry considered is that of a rectangular profile fin. The porous fin allows the flow to infiltrate through it and solid-fluid interaction takes place. This study is performed using Darcy's model to formulate heat transfer equation. To study the thermal performance, three types of cases are considered viz. long fin, finite length fin with insulated tip and finite length fin with tip exposed. The theory section addresses the derived governing equation. The effects of the porosity parameter S h , radiation parameter G and temperature ratio C T on the dimensionless temperature distribution and heat transfer rate are discussed. The results suggest that the radiation transfers more heat than a similar model without radiation.

Thermal explosion occurs when the heat generation of an exothermic reaction exceeds the system's capacity of heat removal. In fluid systems, natural convection acts as an additional heat transfer mechanism, and, for sufficiently large values of the Rayleigh number, the system can be stabilized. The

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.
