Determination of Proper Fin Length of a Convective-Radiative Moving Fin of Functionally Graded Material Subjected to Lorentz Force

Abstract:

Excess fin length results in material waste and additional weight leading to increased cost with no benefit in return. Moreover, extra fin length affects the overall performance of the fin as fluid motion is suppressed, resulting in reduced convective heat transfer coefficient. To achieve a miniaturised system with effective cooling, the determination of appropriate length of extended surfaces becomes a key performance and fabrication process factor. Therefore, the present work aims at determining the proper or effective length of a convective-radiative moving fin of functionally graded material under the influence of a magnetic field. The developed governing equation of the analysis is solved analytically with the aid of Kummer’s function. The analytical solutions are used to investigate the effects of non-homogeneity, convective, radiative and magnetic parameter on the thermal performance and the proper fin length. The present study is hoped to assist in making cost-effective decisions on designing cooling approaches for different consumer electronics and high-power systems under various operating conditions.
