Numerical analysis of two dimensional pin fins with non-constant base heat flux

Influence of geometrical factors and pressing mould wear on thermal-hydraulic characteristics for steel offset strip fins at low Reynolds number

“…Patankar [17] early simulated planar heat exchanger models regardless of fin height. Yang [18] and Costa [19] also investigated certain two-dimensional fin schemes. In recent years, Taguchi method has been adopted in construction design for heat exchangers to efficiently seek the combination of optimized design parameters [20][21][22], and in Refs.…”

A Differential Quadrature Element Method for Nonlinear Transient Heat Transfer Analysis of Extended Surfaces

“…Other approximate methods such as power series methods [1,2], Taylor transformation methods [3,4], and Adomian's decomposition technique [5,6] have also been used. Hybrid methods such as finite-element=finite-difference methods [7], Laplace integral methods [8], Laplace finite-difference methods [9], and meshless element Galerkin methods [10] have also been used for transient problems. In using most conventional and hybrid numerical methods, very small time-step sizes should be employed to ensure convergence and to arrive at an accurate solution.…”
