Cooling
Fins
Cooling fins can be found on many engines, transmissions and
other components which carry considerable heat. They act as
a passive cooling device, conducting heat away from the main
bulk of the metal and then using the increased surface area
created by the fins to cool the component with passing air.
Most effective when air is moving rapidly over and through
the fins, like when in motion and in the open air, cooling
fins are most often seen on exposed air-cooled motorcycle
engines.
