Suggestion on fin design software
(OP)
Are there any commerical cooling fin design software to determine optimal fin topology, dimensions of the fins and spacing between the fins and number of fins) for natural and forced convection cases?
I have looked up online not able to find any.
The fins usaally i see use rectangular cross section.Can any one explain me the rationale from a Heat transfer standpoint.
Thanks

Chapter 16 also includes finned heat transfer, pressure drop for both transverse and longitudinal fins of both rectangular and triangular cross section.
