Length of fin Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fin Length = (Perimeter-(2*Height of Crack))/((4*Number of Fins))
FL = (P-(2*h_c))/((4*NF))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Fin Length - (Measured in Meter) - Fin length is the length of the fin.
Perimeter - (Measured in Meter) - The perimeter of a figure is the total distance around the edge of the figure.
Height of Crack - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Crack is the size of a flaw or crack in a material that can lead to catastrophic failure under a given stress.
Number of Fins - The Number of Fins is the total count of the fins in length L.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Perimeter: 25 Meter --> 25 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of Crack: 12000 Millimeter --> 12 Meter (Check conversion here)
Number of Fins: 8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

FL = (P-(2*h_c))/((4*NF)) --> (25-(2*12))/((4*8))

Evaluating ... ...

FL = 0.03125

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.03125 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.03125 Meter <-- Fin Length

Number of tubes in transverse fin heat exchanger

Go Number of Tubes = Mass Flow Rate/(Mass Flux(g)*Distance between two Consequent Tubes*Height of Crack)

Distance between two consequent tubes in transverse fin heat exchanger

Go Distance between two Consequent Tubes = Mass Flow Rate/(Mass Flux(g)*Number of Tubes*Length)

Length of tube bank

Go Length = Mass Flow Rate/(Mass Flux(g)*Number of Tubes*Distance between two Consequent Tubes)

Equivalent diameter of tube for transverse fin heat exchanger

Go Equivalent Diameter = (Reynolds Number(e)*Viscosity of Fluid)/(Mass Flux)

Length of fin Formula

Fin Length = (Perimeter-(2*Height of Crack))/((4*Number of Fins))
FL = (P-(2*h_c))/((4*NF))

What is heat exchanger?

A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between two or more fluids. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power stations, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural-gas processing, and sewage treatment. The classic example of a heat exchanger is found in an internal combustion engine in which a circulating fluid known as engine coolant flows through radiator coils and air flows past the coils, which cools the coolant and heats the incoming air. Another example is the heat sink, which is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant.

How to Calculate Length of fin?

Length of fin calculator uses Fin Length = (Perimeter-(2*Height of Crack))/((4*Number of Fins)) to calculate the Fin Length, Length of fin formula is defined as a method to determine the effective length of a fin in heat exchangers, which influences the heat transfer efficiency by maximizing surface area for heat dissipation. Fin Length is denoted by FL symbol.

How to calculate Length of fin using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Length of fin, enter Perimeter (P), Height of Crack (h_c) & Number of Fins (NF) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Length of fin calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.03125 = (25-(2*12))/((4*8)).

FAQ

What is Length of fin?

Length of fin formula is defined as a method to determine the effective length of a fin in heat exchangers, which influences the heat transfer efficiency by maximizing surface area for heat dissipation and is represented as FL = (P-(2*h_c))/((4*NF)) or Fin Length = (Perimeter-(2*Height of Crack))/((4*Number of Fins)). The perimeter of a figure is the total distance around the edge of the figure, Height of Crack is the size of a flaw or crack in a material that can lead to catastrophic failure under a given stress & The Number of Fins is the total count of the fins in length L.

How to calculate Length of fin?

Length of fin formula is defined as a method to determine the effective length of a fin in heat exchangers, which influences the heat transfer efficiency by maximizing surface area for heat dissipation is calculated using Fin Length = (Perimeter-(2*Height of Crack))/((4*Number of Fins)). To calculate Length of fin, you need Perimeter (P), Height of Crack (h_c) & Number of Fins (NF).
