Performance optimization of annular elliptical fin based on thermo-geometric parameters

Efficiency of annular elliptical fin has been studied numerically. It has been shown that constant temperature lines do not preserve their circular shape in fins with high aspect ratio and therefore, the common methods such as equivalent fin area or sector method may not be applicable. For this reas...
