Experimental average heat-transfer coefficients for free-convection cooling of arrays of isothermal fins on horizontal surfaces over a wider range of spacings than previously available are reported. A simplified correlation is presented and a previously available correlation is questioned. An optimum arrangement for maximum heat transfer and a preliminary design method are suggested, including weight considerations.

A method and practical results are presented for finding the geometries of fixed volume plate fins for maximizing dissipated heat flux. The heat transfer theory used in optimization is based on approximate analytical solutions of conjugated heat transfer, which couple conduction in the fin and convection from the fluid. Nondimensional variables have been found that contain thermal and geometrical properties of the fins and the flow, and these variables have a fixed value at the optimum point. The values are given for rectangular, convex parabolic, triangular, and concave parabolic fin shapes for natural and forced convection including laminar and turbulent boundary layers. An essential conclusion is that it is not necessary to evaluate the convection heat transfer coefficients because convection is already included in these variables when the flow type is specified. Easy-to-use design rules are presented for finding the geometries of fixed volume fins that give the maximum heat transfer. A comparison between the heat transfer capacities of different fins is also discussed.

A general correlation is presented for predicting maximum heat transfer coefficient for surfaces submerged in gas-fluidized beds. It has been verified with data for horizontal and vertical cylinders and spheres in beds of a wide variety of particles and gases. The gases include air, cryogens, methane, CO2, ammonia, and R-12. The range of parameters includes: heat transfer surface diameter 0.05 to 220 mm, particle diameter 31 to 15000 μm, pressure 0.026 to 0.95 MPa, and temperature 13 to 1028 °C. The 363 data points from 53 sources are predicted with a mean absolute deviation of 16.2 %. Several other correlations were also compared to the same data but had much larger deviations.

Heat transfer coefficients have been measured on the gas side of pistons and liners, the water side of liners, and the oil side of pistons. A significant radial variation in heat transfer across the piston crown has been found. The position of the maximum heat transfer coefficient appears to be coincident with the maximum air concentration, or the position the tips of the fuel sprays have reached at the time of ignition, and the radial variation of heat transfer is possibly related to the amount of fuel burnt at each radius. For four-stroke engines, equations are presented to describe this variation. Heat transfer coefficients at the exposed section of the liner have been found to be similar to the values at the outer edge of the piston. Heat transfer between piston undercrown and cooling oil has been measured for various types of cooling arrangement and, for jet cooling, an expression has been suggested for the heat transfer coefficient. Equations have also been derived to enable coefficients to be predicted for heat transfer from liner to cooling water.

Abstract During heat transport through the walls of a hollow sphere, the heat stream can achieve extreme values. The same processes occur in regular polyhedrons. We can calculate the maximum heat transfer rate, the so-called critical heat transfer rate. We must assume here identical conditions of heat exchange on all internal and external walls of a regular polyhedron. The transfer rate of heat penetrating through the regular polyhedron with different heat transfer coefficients on the walls is called the heat transfer rate with asymmetric boundary conditions. We show that the heat transfer rate in this case will grow up if we replace those coefficients with their average values.
