For what kind of configurations of fins do we use the modified Bessels functions to calculate fin efficiency?
Ans: For fins with non-uniform cross sections the Bessel Functions have to be used to calculate heat transfer and efficiency.
Some examples of fins with non-uniform cross sections:
Straight Triangular Fins
Straight Parabolic Fins
Circular Fins of rectangular profile
Pin fins of Triangular profile
Pin fins of Parabolic profile with blunt tip
