In almost all real situations, there will be a radiant interchange between adjacent fins with the base surface as well as with the external environment. In the problem of this study, a rectangular fin is attached to a based. Our concern is whether the convective fin efficiency can be increased by the radiation heat exchanged between the fin and the base surface and how much. If the fin temperature toward the tip increased by the effect of radiation, the convective heat transfer increase due to the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the surface temperature of the fin. If this true, the efficiency of the fin due to the radiation will increase. Attention is directed toward several parameters which have major roles on getting values of the fin efficiencies in several different values of parameters. Many different cases are, therefore, to be examined to have maximum fin efficiency by varying the values of each parameter.

In this paper, the effect of unsteady radiation on the horizontal fin of an external fuel tank by flame of a flying flare was analysed to see the temperature increase of the fin and the thermal impact on the fin. Radiation between two surfaces was calculated using the concept of radiation resistance of surface and space including radiation, irradiation and shape factor for two flying trajectories of a flare, maximum temperature of 2200 K, emissivity of 0.95, flying velocity of 30 m/s, and thermal surface area of $0.01m^2$. The result shows that the temperature increase of the fin is 0.236 K, and the thermal effect on the fin is ignorable. And it was found that temperature is increased a little because small amount of heat energy can be radiated due to the short exposure time to the heat source.

The heat transfer over a radial heat sink, adapted for LED (light emitting diode) downlights, was experimentally and analytically investigated. We added radiation heat transfer into a previous calculation that neglected this factor. The numerical results agreed well with experimental results. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effects of the geometric parameters (fin length, fin height, ideal number of fins) and the operating parameter (heat flux) on the average heat-sink temperature from the heat-sink array. We found the fin length that maximizes the heattransfer performance. As the emissivity increased, the effect of geometric parameters on the radiation heat transfer decreased.

A radial heat sink, adopted to LED(light emitting diode) downlight, was optimized. Discrete transfer radiation model (DTRM) was used to calculate radiation heat transfer, and numerical model was verified with experimental results. The effects of number of fin, long fin length and middle fin length on overall thermal resistance and radiation heat transfer were analyzed. As the emissivity increased, thermal resistance decreased due to the increment of radiation heat transfer. The radial heat sink was optimized and optimum number of long fins is 19~28, optimum length of long fin is about half of radius of heat fink and optimum fin ratio is 0.4~0.7.
