Abstract

An analysis of natural convection from a vertical plate fin when the fin base temperature is below the dew point of the surrounding air is presented in this paper. The analytical solution derived is based upon a constant heat and mass transfer coefficient and is also valid for forced convection. The results of this simplified theory are compared with a numerical solution where the coupling of convection and conduction is taken into account. An experimental verification of the results is also shown.
