Extended surfaces<-->longitudinal or radial fins or spines<-->enhance heat transfer between a surface and an adjacent fluid in applications as large as tubes in heat exchangers and as small as the temperature control of electronic components. Kraus (U. of Akron) and Donald Q. Kern published an extensive treatise on extended surface heat transfer in 1972, but now finds the field changed enough to need an update. So he teams up with Abdul Aziz (Ganzaga U.) and James Welty (Oregon State U.) to set out the current thinking on such matters as convection with simplified and real constraints, longitudinal fin double-pipe exchangers, and boiling from finned surfaces.
