已经对圆形翅片进行了许多研究，但关于不同几何形状的翅片的信息很少。Zabronsky开发了一个近似解析解，用于求解安装在圆管上的方形翅片中控制热传导的偏微分方程。然而，他假设整个翅片表面的传热系数是恒定的。Rich4开发了剖面法，该方法是。一种计算等厚度对称矩形翅片效率的近似方法。他还承担了责任。翅片表面上的传热系数保持不变。本实验研究了不同雷诺数下横流中单个圆形翅片的传热系数变化，并与相同条件下的方形翅片进行了比较。 引文:巴哈马拿骚ASHRAE Transactions第78卷第2部分

Many investigations have been carried out on circular fins, but little information is available on fins of different geometries. Zabronsky developed an approximate analytical solution to the partial differential equation governing heat conduction in square fins mounted on round tubes. He assumed, however, that the coefficient of heat transfer was constant over the entire fin surface. Rich4 developed the section method which is.an approximate method for calculating the efficiency of symmetrical rectangular fins of constant thickness. He also assumed the. coefficient of heat transfer to be constant over the fin surface.This experimental work was undertaken to examine the variations in the coefficient of heat transfer for a single circular fin in cross flow at different Reynolds numbers and to compare the results with a square fin under identical conditions.
