Lightweight Radiator Fin
Abstract
Lightweight radiator fin made of tapered panels bent together at ends and joined to heat pipe in middle. Taper chosen for minimum mass per unit of radiated power. Intended primarily for use as part of cooling system of space station, also used on Earth to cool equipment in laboratory vacuum. Possible to modify basic design equations to design minimum-mass fins for cooling by conduction or convection.
