Fin equation

If the constant potential energy Fin equation (1.35) is set at some arbitrary value other then zero, then equation (1.39) takes the form... 

Equation (3.53) is the one-dimensional fin equation for fins with variable cross section. This special case occurs when A is constant. Let this constant be equal to a = Px, where P is the perimeter. In this case, da/dx = P. The one-dimensional fin equation then becomes... 

The fin tips, in practice, are exposed to the surroundings, and thus the proper boundary condition for the fin tip is convection that also includes the effects of radiation. The fin equation can still be solved in this case using the convection at the fin tip as the second boundary condition, but the analysis becomes more involved, and it results in rather lengthy expressions for the temperature distribution and the heat transfer. Yet, in general, the fin tip area is a small fraction of the total fin surface area, and thus the complexities involved can hardly justify the improvement in accuracy. 

That is, the gap appears more curved (i.e., the resolving power increases while sensitivity drops, 4.3.7) when 7 > 7ex and less curved R decreases and s rises) otherwise. These trends (Figure 4.26) were seen in experiments using cylindrical FAIMS for various species. At 7ex/7jn = (rex/fin). Equation 4.61 produces 7i = Tj the... 

If one allows for anisotropic frictional forces by retaining the friction tensor fin equation (51), and allowing for anisotropic Brownian motion by allowing the Maxwellian velocity distribution to be skewed (so that = — (kT/ F)[(5/5ry) f F]), then the diffusion equation and stress tensor expressions become...

The subscripts / and o correspond to inner and outer surfaces of tube, respectively. In these equations, Pi is a reference area for which U is defined, and T[ is the total efficiency of a finned heat-transfer surface and is related to the fin efficiency, Tl by...

The temperature distribution within the annular fin is given by the differential equation... 

Equation 2-5 gives a value for U based on the outside surface area of the tube, and therefore the area used in Equation 2-3 must also be the tube outside surface area. Note that Equation 2-5 is based on two fluids exchanging heat energy through a solid divider. If additional heat exchange steps are involved, such as for finned tubes or insulation, then additional terms must be added to the right side of Equation 2-5. Tables 2-1 and 2-2 have basic tube and coil properties for use in Equation 2-5 and Table 2-3 lists the conductivity of different metals. 

Calculate the tube-side film coefficient for finned tube, hj. If water, use Figure 10-50A or 10-50B if other fluid, use Equation 10-44 or 10-47. Use an assumed or process determined tube-side velocity or other film fixing characteristic. 

Figure 10-46 gives the usual Sieder-Tate chart and equation for tube-side, hare-tube heat transfer. For the finned shell-side heat transfer, see Figures 10-153A, 10-153B, 10-153C or the recommendation of Kern and Kraus, Figure 10-154. 

The fin surface area will not be as effective as the bare tube surface, as the heat has to be conducted along the fin. This is allowed for in design by the use of a fin effectiveness, or fin efficiency, factor. The basic equations describing heat transfer from a fin are derived in Volume 1, Chapter 9 see also Kern (1950). The fin effectiveness is a function of the fin dimensions and the thermal conductivity of the fin material. Fins are therefore usually made from metals with a high thermal conductivity for copper and aluminium the effectiveness will typically be between 0.9 to 0.95. 

When using finned tubes, the coefficients for the outside of the tube in equation 12.2 are replaced by a term involving fin area and effectiveness ... 

Air-cooled exchangers consist of banks of finned tubes over which air is blown or drawn by fans mounted below or above the tubes (forced or induced draft). Typical units are shown in Figure 12.68. Air-cooled exchangers are packaged units, and would normally be selected and specified in consultation with the manufacturers. Some typical overall coefficients are given in Table 12.1. These can be used to make an approximate estimate of the area required for a given duty. The equation for finned tubes given in Section 12.14 can also be used. 

Kil fin et al have reported values for the exchange enthalpy of neomycin for three ion-exchange resins. The values of AH were calculated by application of the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation the published results are tabulated below -... 

The important word in this sentence is predict. It is important, in my opinion, to make a distinction between existence and predictability. Prigogine himself said (much later, in La Fin des Certitudes, LG.7) Every dynamical system must, of course, follow a trajectory, solution of its equations, independently of the fact that we may or may not construct it. Thus, a trajectory exists but cannot be predicted. The impossibility of prediction is therefore related to the impossibility of defining an instantaneous state (in the framework of classical mechanics) as a limit of a finite region of phase space (thus a limit of a result of a set of measurements). For an unstable system, such a region will be deformed and will end up covering almost all of phase space. The necessity of introducing statistical methods appears to me to be due to the practical (rather than theoretical) impossibility of determining a mathematical point as an initial condition.
