Heat transfer terminology
Fins are also called fins and fins because they are similar to wings and fins. They are effective ways to increase the heat transfer area. The so-called fin is the extended surface attached to the foundation surface. [1] Such as condenser, radiator and air heater of refrigeration device. The common fin shapes include trapezoidal fin, triangular fin and rectangular fin. The factors that affect the heat transfer of the fin include the height of the fin, the spacing between the ribs, the temperature of the fin root, and the thermophysical parameters of the fin.

Fin efficiency It is defined as the ratio of the actual heat dissipation of the fin to the maximum possible heat dissipation of the whole fin at the base temperature of the fin. In practical engineering calculation, the actual heat dissipation can be calculated as long as the fin efficiency is known.
In engineering, the economical fin efficiency is about 0.64-0.76.

Fins have a good effect in enhancing heat dissipation, and their simple structure has been widely used in civil and industrial applications, such as radiators, automobile engine heat dissipation, internal and external units of air conditioners, computer radiators, and air preheaters for power station boilers.
