Abstract

In this paper, a micro pin fin heat sink is numerically investigated with four fins geometries (circular, elliptical, square, and drop shape) at two types of arrangement styles, inline and staggered arrangement. The hydrodynamic and thermal characteristics of different fin geometries and two arrangement styles have been compared under the exact value of Reynolds number and constant wall temperature thermal boundary conditions. The Reynolds number was sweeping in the range of (400-2800) to ensure the fluid flow velocity impact in the pin fin performance. The results obtained indicate that a longitude pin fin dropped with increasing Reynolds number at a distributed temperature. Also, the circler Pin fin reaches the lowest temperature comparison to the rest of the three-pin fin types. Generally, according to the extracted, Nusselt number for different geometries increased versus increasing the Reynolds number. Observe that the elliptical fin shape yields the highest Nusselt number at all Reynolds numbers. Moreover, the elliptical pin fin ejects the highest heat transfer rate, which indicates the pin fin performance. Furthermore, skin friction has a significant function with variation in Reynolds number.
