Axial steady-state temperature distributions along the fin are numerically evaluated. The theoretical results reveal that when transition condensation has incorporated, the fin efficiency can exceed unity, which is not attainable for a conventional fin. Furthermore, the present study has suggested a new fin design methodology.CondensationDesignEfficiencyFin Performancejournal article2-s2.0-0031103420https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-0031103420&partnerID=40&md5=df73cbaecdd024f8eb604100c5558cf5
