Fin Efficiency
• Assume entire fin is at fin base temperature• Maximum possible heat transfer• Perfect fin
• Efficiency is ratio of actual heat transfer to perfect case
• Non-dimensional parameter
Heat exchanger performance (11.3)
• NTU – absolute sizing (# of transfer units)• ε – relative sizing (effectiveness)

Summary
• Calculate efficiency of extended surface• Add thermal resistances in series• If you know temperatures
• Calculate R and P to get F, ε, NTU• Might be iterative
• If you know ε, NTU• Calculate R,P and get F, temps
Analysis of Moist Coils
1. Redo fin theory 2. Energy balance on fin
surface, water film, airIntroduce Lewis Number
3. Digression – approximate enthalpy
4. Redo fin analysis for cooling/ dehumidification (t → h)
1. Redo Fin Theory
• Same result pLpLtanh
2. Energy and mass balances
• Steady-state energy equation on air• Energy balance on water• Mass balance on water• Rewrite energy balance on water surface
• Reintroduce hg0 (enthalpy of sat. water vapor at 0 °C or °F)
3. Define heat-transfer coefficient for wet surface
4. Fin analysis for wet finsHeat conduction only occurs in y-direction through water film

Wet Surface Heat Transfer
• Approximate dry and wet wet-surface area and apply relevant equations
Reynolds number changes – empirical relationships
Questions:• Does a wet or a dry coil have higher or lower heat
exchange?• Does a wet or a dry coil have higher or lower pressure
