Computational Heat transfer analysis of capsulated liquid metal fins

Abstract Fins are extended surfaces to increase convection heat transfer. Conventional fins made of solid metals and alloys. Liquid such as sodium have melting points below atmospheric temperature. lower specific heats higher thermal diffusivity when compared metals. These properties can be used in enhancing In the present work, a numerical model is developed for analyzing effect capsulating liquid metal pin fin. COMSOL Multiphysics package determine transfer characteristics under varying geometric flow conditions. The enhancement due Mercury Aluminium fin detailed.
