...–conductive parameter. As ambient and heat generation parameters are increasingly varied, the fin's temperature profile becomes higher. Since the longitudinal fin with the shrinking mechanism has a lower thermal value than the stretching case, the heat transfer is higher for the shrinking fin. Hence...

...S. C. Haldar; G. S. Kochhar; K. Manohar Conjugate numerical solution of laminar forced convection for cross-flow over a cylinder with external longitudinal fins of finite thickness has been carried out. The rate of heat transfer from the fins increases and that from the free area of the cylinder...

... configuration of three typical fins, namely, longitudinal fin, pin fin, and annular fin are shown in Fig. 1 . The present analysis is based on the idealization of Murray ( 8 ) and Gardner ( 1 ). Additionally, it is assumed that heat sources of constant generation rate are uniformly distributed throughout...
