Abstract :
The thermal performance of parallel stacks of in-line plate fin heat sinks is analyzed. Calculation shows that the fin efficiency parameter, like that used for a constant cross-section fin in an isothermal fluid flow, can be introduced to express both the local and overall heat transfer balances
