Abstract
In several engineering applications, heat dissipation is an important factor which if not taken care of might result in high-thermal stresses and mechanical failures. The amount of heat dissipated depends on the heat transfer coefficient and surface area which can be increased by the use of extended surfaces, i.e., fins. Thermal analysis of three fins, namely rectangular, inclined non-uniform perforated, twin extension, is performed. The models were designed in Creo 4.0 and the analysis was carried out using ANSYS 15.0. The fins were analyzed for forced convection. The fins were compared on the basis of non-dimensional Nusselt number (Nu) and Reynolds number (Re), which proved that twin extension fin was the most effective among all the three. It was followed by inclined non-uniform perforated fin.
