Abstract:-
This research examines the efficiency of various fin forms and includes heat transfer rate analysis. For analysis, four distinct fins are employed. Fins come in a variety of shapes, including round, square, hexagonal, and rectangular. The goal is to figure out how much heat is exchanged and how efficient a similar region with a different shape is. The goal of the research is to determine the maximum heat transfer from the fin surface as well as the efficiency of different fin shapes. The steady-state thermal analysis using ANSYS 14.5 is utilised for this investigation. Heat is transferred from a solid rod to a solid fin. Convection occurs with air flowing through a duct at the same time. The fin is used to mount a nichrome (band type) heater for heat delivery. The fins on the heater are composed of aluminum, which has a higher thermal conductivity than other materials. The solid work programme generates fin models, which are then loaded into ANSYS 14.5 . The investigation is carried out in a systematic manner. Lay out the experimental setup first, then obtain individual readings from various shaped fins. The heat transfer rate and efficiency are estimated from the recorded readings for various Reynolds' Numbers, and the results are then compared to other fins.
