Numerical Analysis of Radiative-Convective Heat Transfer from an Extended Surface by the Monte Carlo Method : 1st Report, Finned Plate Surface

抄録

The radiative and convective heat transfer from a longitudinal rectangular fin array on a plane surface has been analytically investigated by applying the Monte Carlo method. Optimization of the heat transfer performance of the finned plate system has been examined for various combinations of parameters : emissivity, Biot number, radiation number, convection-radiation parameter, fin spacing to fin height ratio, fin height to fin thickness ratio and specular component of reflection.
