摘要
Enhancement of heat transfer rate through porous fins is one of the common choices nowadays. As the energy equation is highly nonlinear, researchers never concentrated on analyzing porous fins analytically. In the present study, an effort has been devoted to develop an analytical model for determination of the performance and optimum dimensions of porous fins with consideration of different models of predictions. Every result has been presented in a comparative way so that the merit of the models adopting in the present work can easily be understood. The optimum design analysis of porous fins has also been carried out. The influences of all the dependent parameters on the performances and optimization conditions have been studied for the selection of a design criterion of porous fins in such applications where the requirement of heat dissipation is essentially high.
