General exact solution of the fin problem with the power law temperature‐dependent thermal conductivity

In this paper, the general exact implicit solution of the second‐order nonlinear ordinary differential equation governing heat transfer in rectangular fin is obtained using Lie point symmetry method. General relationship among the fin efficiency, the rate of heat transfer from the entire fin, the fin effectiveness, and the thermo‐geometric fin parameter is obtained for any value of the mode of heat transfer n and the constant β.

Optimization of fin geometry in heat convection with entransy theory

The entransy theory developed in recent years is used to optimize the aspect ratio of a plate fin in heat convection.Based on a two-dimensional model,the theoretical analysis shows that the minimum thermal resistance defined with the concept of entransy dissipation corresponds to the maximum heat transfer rate when the temperature of the heating surface is fixed.On the other hand,when the heat flux of the heating surface is fixed,the minimum thermal resistance corresponds to the minimum average temperature of the heating surface.The entropy optimization is also given for the heat transfer processes.It is observed that the minimum entropy generation,the minimum entropy generation number,and the minimum revised entropy generation number do not always correspond to the best heat transfer performance.In addition,the influence factors on the optimized aspect ratio of the plate fin are also discussed.The optimized ratio decreases with the enhancement of heat convection,while it increases with fin thermal conductivity increasing.

Analysis of frost visualization over a fin and tube heat exchanger by natural convection

In this article, studies are made on frost formation and flow over a fin and tube heat exchanger due to natural convection for various conditions of relative humidity, air ambient temperature, and mean refrigerant temperature. The results include frost deposition, steps of frost formation, and its effect on heat transfer rate for different conditions. The results show that frost is formed only on the tip of the fins with higher thickness from top to bottom due to small distance between the fins. Frost causes to trap the air which increases the thermal resistance and reduces heat transfer in the system.     

Green’s function solution for transient heat conduction in annular fin during solidification of phase change material

The Green’s function method is applied for the transient temperature of an annular fin when a phase change material (PCM) solidifies on it. The solidification of the PCMs takes place in a cylindrical shell storage. The thickness of the solid PCM on the fin varies with time and is obtained by the Megerlin method. The models are found with the Bessel equation to form an analytical solution. Three different kinds of boundary conditions are investigated. The comparison between analytical and numerical solutions is given. The results demonstrate that the significant accuracy is obtained for the temperature distribution for the fin in all cases.

Electro-thermal analysis of non-rectangular FinFET and modeling of fin shape effect on thermal resistance

A novel non rectangular structure of Fin field-effect transistor with the modified channel is introduced as the solution of corner effects. In the proposed FinFET, the top region of fin has cylindrical structure and the bottom region of the fin has a rounded shape. The extended bottom region of fin with a round shape reduces the self-heating effects by distributing the heat from the widespread edges. The top cylindrical region of fin adjusts the corner effects and improves the gate controllability over the channel. The proposed structure with the modified channel which is called MC-FinFET is proven to have better thermal stability, lower hot carrier and self heating effects, improved short channel effects, reduced DIBL and better subthreshold characteristics in comparison with a conventional FinFET. Here, by a thermal conductivity model the effect of fin shape on the thermal resistance and the effective width of the proposed irregular FinFET is analyzed. Moreover, the thermal sensitivity of electro-thermal characteristics in the proposed structure is evaluated with three-dimensional simulations. The superiority of the MC-FinFET is owing to the sharp edges elimination for reducing the self-heating and corner effects. The electro-thermal results demonstrate the ability of MC-FinFET as a higher performance device over the conventional one.
