Abstract
An earlier paper by the authors presented an algorithm for analyzing certain arrays of extended surface, in terms of the heat transfer properties and geometries of the individual fins comprising the array. This paper identifies the subclass of arrays susceptible to such analysis as trees, in the graph theoretic sense, and extends the technique by deriving general equations for efficiently analyzing a perfectly arbitrary configuration of fins.Keywords
