...Kyle I. McKee; John H. Lienhard Lienhard (2019, “Exterior Shape Factors From Interior Shape Factors,” ASME J. Heat Mass Transfer-Trans. ASME, 141 (6), p. 061301) reported that the shape factor of the interior of a simply-connected region (Ω) is equal to that of its exterior ( ℝ 2 \Ω) under the same...

...John H. Lienhard, V Two-dimensional steady-state heat conduction is possible outside closed boundaries on which two isothermal segments at different temperatures are separated by two adiabatic segments. Remarkably, previous research showed that the conduction shape factor for the region exterior...

.... The particular configuration is a classical heat conduction problem with a wide range of practical applications. We consider both the classical problem, i.e., estimating the shape factor of a given configuration, and the inverse problem, i.e., calculating the optimum shape that maximizes the heat transfer rate...

... of results is carried through the usage of a proposed shape factor. Beyond shape, temperature fields and performance for the considered plate fins are shown to be dependent on a set of three Biot numbers characterizing the ratio between conduction resistances through every direction and convection resistance...
