Abstract:
The heat sink dissipates heat from the hot source to the environment. Also, the heat sink can absorb heat from the hot surroundings. It comes in various designs. Electric and electronic equipment, chemical industries, refrigeration, air conditioning systems, power plants, and other thermal applications use this technology. A fin array, a metal device that uses passive and active cooling techniques to dissipate heat. ; The surface area of the fins can be improved to enhance the efficiency of the heat sink by increasing thermal conductivity. Transverse fins can have a variety of shapes, such as a parabolic, triangular, or rectangular profile. Rectangular profiles are the most common, especially in arrays with numerous fins. The goal of this research is to look back at how longitudinal rectangular fins are optimized for arrays with fins subject to forced and natural convection work.
