Thermal and multi-boiling analysis of a rectangular porous fin: A spectral approach

Abstract: Fins are commonly utilized to enhance (dissipate) heat in various engineering systems that include heat exchangers. In the present investigation, the impact of multi-boiling and thermo-geometric factors on a convective–radiative rectangular porous fin subjected to the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of linear and non-linear variations is discussed extensively. The governing equations describing the problem were formulated with the aid of Darcy law. Similarity variables were employed to reduce the models to non-dimensional form. The solution of the governing dimensionless equation is approximated using the RK4 and spectral local linearization methods. Before parametric analysis, the agreement between the two numerical methods was established. Findings reveal that the non-linear variation of thermal conductivity shows better thermal efficiency than the linear variation. An improvement in the multi-boiling heat transfer parameter retards the temperature distribution of the fin. Furthermore, increasing the thermo-geometric parameter will result in a progressive decrease in the temperature of the fin. The results obtained in this work will aid in the design of heat exchangers and other heat transfer equipments.
