Abstract

A series of fins commonly known as heat sinks are adapted in various thermal appliances the computer and other electronic systems, where large chunks of heat generated have to be dissipated. This project is mainly concerned with developing unconventional fins as a substitute to the conventional rectangular fins. Heat Transfer analysis of curved fins was carried out in this work which can be a substitute for a normal rectangular fins as heat sinks. A detailed evaluation of temperature distribution and heat flux rates with heat sinks made up of curved fins is accomplished and compared with the rectangular fins. This objective was fulfilled for three different types of materials mainly copper, aluminium , magnesium. The entire project was done using CATIA platform for modelling and ANSYS for finite element analysis.
