Transport Processes: Extended Surface - Extra

This document discusses extended surfaces, also known as fins, which are used to increase the surface area for heat transfer. It provides three key points: 1) Fins are attached to a base surface to increase the total surface area and allow more heat transfer between the object and surrounding fluid or gas. This can increase the heat transfer rate without increasing fan or pump power. 2) There are different fin shapes and configurations including straight, annular, and pin fins. Fin efficiency is calculated based on the actual and maximum possible heat transfer rates. 3) Fin effectiveness compares the heat transfer rate of a finned surface to a non-finned surface of the same base area.

Fin Function- ?? increase area for heat transfer

Need to use fin


To increase h may require
Installation of fan/pump
Example:
Car radiator
