Feridun Ozguc Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Ataturk University, 25240 Erzurum, Turkey Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Istanbul Technical University, Gumussuyu, 80191 Istanbul, Turkey Abstract An approximate analytical model has been used to evaluate the optimum dimensions of a central-heating radiator. The radiator problem is divided into three one-dimensional fin problems and then the temperature distributions within the fins and heat-transfer rate from the radiator are obtained analytically. The optimum geometry maximizing the heat-transfer rate for a given radiator volume and the geometrical constraints associated with production techniques, and thermal constraints have been found. The effects of geometrical and thermal parameters on the radiator’s performance are presented. Keywords: Central heating; Optimization; Radiators Introduction Radiators are the most popular central-heating emitters. As the radiator is hotter than the air surrounding it, a certain amount of heat is transferred to the air and thus the water exists at a lower temperature. Of the various designs available usually equipped with convection fins to improve their heat output, are common in domestic, business and industrial environments. The use of central-heating radiators is the main form of domestic heating in the homes. Although radiators are known as radiator, most of their output is by natural convection. Since the average surface temperature of a central-heating radiator is generally less than 80?°C, the contribution of radiative transfer to the total heat transfer is smaller than that of the natural convection heat transfer. Because of the low surface temperatures, radiation heat transfer term in the energy balance equations can be linearized in the thermal analysis of such a radiator. In the present paper, assuming that the predominant modes of heat transfer are conduction a
