Experimental evaluation of heat flow from rectangular fins array under forced convection

The application of fins is to reduce heat from an object. The experiment is about utilizing the fins for heat dissipation. The method is by using an experimental set-up to observe temperature difference of 6 arrays of rectangular fins and calculate the Nusselt number to understand the convection for...
