What is the definition of fin on a rocket?

The definition of fin on a rocket would be, a thin, protruding piece of metal whose function is to provide aerodynamic stabilization when the rocket is in flight.


What is the best fin size for a 2 liter bottle rocket?

There does not appear to be a "best" size. It depends on a number of factors, to include the bottle used (brand of drink & manufacturer), type of rocket, distance aiming for. One common element to consider is drag. Larger fins have greater surface and mass which will directly affect the altitude your rocket can reach.

How does a Ventless Condensing Drying System work?

Individual condensing dryers use air-to-air condensers to remove the moisture from the air before sending it back though the drum. Hot, moist air exiting the drum is passed over a set of metal fins. Cooler, room temperature air is pulled from the room to pass over the other side of each fin, and the difference in temperature causes the moisture in the warm air to condense into drops of water, which are pumped to the same drain as the wash water. The warm dry air is circulated back into the machine; the room temperature air returns to the room virtually unaffected. (The estimated temperature increase in the laundry room is approximately one degree Fahrenheit for a ten by ten room.)

What is the difference between a long rocket fin and a short rocket fin?

A longer fin has increased aerodynamic drag. The geometric relationship between the drag caused by the fins and the center of gravity of the rocket determine the stability of the rocket in flight. Less aerodynamic drag means the rocket can go higher or farther, but it also means the rocket is less stable in flight. This tradeoff has to be considered in the design of the rocket.
