Abstract
A reversed trapezoidal fin with the fluid in the inside wall is analyzed and optimized in this study. As a fin base boundary condition, the heat transfer from inside wall fluid to the fin base is considered. The values of fin base temperature with the variations of inside wall fluid convection characteristic number and fin base length are listed. The heat transfer, fin effectiveness, fin length and fin base height are optimized as a function of fin base length, convection characteristic number ratio, fin shape factor and fin volume.
