Experimental average heat-transfer coefficients for free-convection cooling of arrays of isothermal fins on horizontal surfaces over a wider range of spacings than previously available are reported. A simplified correlation is presented and a previously available correlation is questioned. An optimum arrangement for maximum heat transfer and a preliminary design method are suggested, including weight considerations.
