Fin Efficiency
Equation and meaning
\[\eta = \frac{A_{ctual\_heat\_rate\_from\_fin} \cdot Q}{Maximum_{heat\_transfer\_rate} \cdot Q_{max}}\]
Use this equation when the shown variables describe your problem. Keep all inputs in compatible units; the calculator converts them to SI internally before solving.
