Evaluate fin performance of a space radiator to remove heat generated for outer space application

Heat is generated in spacecrafts due to air-condition system, electronic and electrical equipment, human beings, etc. The heat generated from these sources must be removed in order to maintain the spacecraft at the required temperatures. Heat rejection to outer space is the area of present work wher...
