Fins are protrusions on a heat transfer surface to augment heat transfer rate from it. The increase in area exposed to convection in case of finned surfaces results in increased heat transfer rate. In this study heat transfer characteristics of a pin fin with perforation is numerically analyzed. A pin fin is fabricated and experiments are done under forced convection conditions. The experimenta...

The Performance of electric vehicle IGPT Pin fin heat sink can be measured by the temperature field and the fluid pressure and other parameters. In order to improve the cooling effect of Pin fin heat sink, diameter, length and distance of the fin was optimized combination. The relationship between pressure drop of the water inlet, outlet and pin fin parameters was analyzed and calculated. It wa...

This study focuses on perforated pin fin convection heat transfer. study's goal is to see if fins may help transmit heat. Perforation diameter and hole count are evaluated each pin. The Nusselt number of pins 47% higher than solid pins, it increases with perforation count. Unperforated have a 19% lower pressure drop. Using circular holes as sinks, we examined forced There were perforations. The...

This study numerically investigates the effects of the number of bottom openings and the fin spacing on both the natural convection heat transfer and airflow field of the handheld projector with various orientations. The horizontally-oriented 120 mm × 53 mm × 19 mm handheld projector, which had 11 bottom openings and was installed with either 7 plate fins or 13 rows of square pin, was considere...

The present paper reports the laminar fluid flow and heat transfer of a heated array of circular-perforated and solid fins mounted over a flat surface using the finite-volume method. One to four circular cross-sectional perforations are made along the length of the fins. The SIMPLE algorithm is used for pressure-velocity coupling and the second order upwind technique is employed to discreti...

Exponential fins are mathematically analyzed in this paper. Two types are considered: i straight exponential fins and ii pin exponential fins. The possibility of having increasing or decreasing cross-sectional areas is considered. Different thermal performance indicators are derived. The maximum ratio between the thermal efficiency of the exponential straight fin to that of the rectangular fin ...

Researcher: Royce Fernandes Title: Investigation of Pin Fin Cooling Channels for Applications in Gas Turbines Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering Year: 2016 Gas turbine blades are often cooled using internal cooling channels to prevent failure at temperatures beyond material limitations. Pin fin channels are commonly used on the t...
