In this work, various geometrical configurations of
a conductive, convective and radiative cylindrical porous fin are
estimated by using inverse heat transfer analysis. The
temperature distribution, which is used in the inverse analysis,
has been calculated by using the finite difference method in
conjunction with the genetic algorithm. The study discloses that
many feasible combinations of the fin dimensions are possible to
acquire a given temperature. This provides the flexibility in
selecting a cylindrical porous fin to achieve a given heat transfer
duty. |
