Thickness of fins in a car radiator.
Thickness of fins in a car radiator.
(OP)
Hello everyone!
I'm working on heat transfer calculations in a car radiator, but I forgot to measure the thickness of the fins, and I need it to calculate the fin efficiency. Does anyone know the order of magnitude of the fin thickness?
Thanks!

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

I don't recall seeing such micro-louvers on aluminum radiators, but I wasn't looking closely.
