Linearized solution of conducting-radiating fins

Satellite Thermal Analysis

“…7 It is also discovered that under moderate heating, data obtained by choosing T m based on physical considerations are not significantly different from those calculated by the tedious and sometimes unstable formal procedure. 7 It is also discovered that under moderate heating, data obtained by choosing T m based on physical considerations are not significantly different from those calculated by the tedious and sometimes unstable formal procedure.…”

Optimization of a Heat Pipe Radiator for Spacecraft High-Power TWTAs

“…Based on the assumption that the fin root temperature is the same as the heat vapor temperature, a linearized solution of the fin equations (Karam, 1978) was found as a function of heat pipe spacing, skin thickness, and vapor temperature for the winter solstice end-of-life (EOL) environmental conditions. The large axial thermal conductance of the heat pipe, together with the large heat transfer between heat pipes, permits the qualified use of radiating/conducting fin equations as a convenient method of optimizing the radiator design.…”

Steady state analysis of regular hollow pyramidal radiating fin with triangular cross-section

“…A radiating fin rejects internally dissipated heat from various electronic components onboard to free space. Karam and Eby [3] optimized the linearization parameter to obtain an approximate solution to conduction -radiation problems. Because of this reason, various researchers have attempted to improve the design and provided the mass optimized radiating fins.…”
