FinEfficiencyFunctorMaterial
This functor material computes a fin efficiency, which can be used with FinEnhancementFactorFunctorMaterial, for example.
Formulation
Under the following assumptions:
straight fin,
uniform cross section, and
adiabatic tip,
the fin efficiency is the following (Incropera et al., 2002):
where
is the heat transfer coefficient,
is the thermal conductivity of the fin,
is the fin height, i.e., the distance the fin extends above the surface,
is the fin perimeter, and
is the fin cross-sectional area.
Note that the fin perimeter and cross-sectional area are not needed separately; only the ratio is needed. For example, for a rectangular fin with width and thickness and a cylindrical pin fin with diameter :
| Fin type | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Rectangular | |||
| Cylindrical pin |
Usage
This functor material creates a functor material property for the fin efficiency with the name given by the parameter "fin_efficiency_name".
The quantities , , , and are provided by the functor parameters "heat_transfer_coefficient", "thermal_conductivity", "fin_height", and "fin_perimeter_area_ratio", respectively.
