A review on Heat Transfer from Different types of Notch Fin Arrays under Forced Convection to increase heat energy transfer

Abstract

Use of fin for heat transfer enhancement is becoming increasing trend. It is observed that in many applications use of fin is proved to be helpful for heat transfer enhancement. Now for further heat transfer enhancement for energy saving in heat transfer processes, one has to increase efficiency of fins this can be achieved through application of notches in fins. This paper provides review on application of notches with different size and shape in heat transfer fin to achieve further enhancement in heat transfer.
