This study applies fuzzy optimization technique to longitudinal fins and spines with various profile shapes operating in a convective environment. The conflicting objectives of minimizing fin mass and fin height are considered simultaneously. Compared with the results from conventional optimization, fin height and aspect ratio are greatly decreased. By using smaller identical fins, both fin height and weight are reduced. Effects of optimum dimensions by different boundaries for the fuzzy membership functions, heat transfer coefficients, conductivities and heat dissipations are also investigated.
