Abstract

Fins are the extended surfaces which are used to dissipate the heat by means of conduction and convection mode of heat transfer. Fins are the cheapest mode of heat transfer compared to heat exchanger. Mostly rectangular fins are designed and used as heat transfer equipments where as when there is requirement of less heat transfer and material reduction. We can switch over to other type of fins instead of rectangular design. In this project rectangular, circular and pin fins are attached to circular rod separately. Then, these three models were subjected to experimental, analytical and computational analysis. In experimental analysis three models were heated to 100c then they were allowed for natural convection at room temperature. The temperature distributions were measured and viewed using thermocouple. In analytical method, the amount of heat transfer is calculated and
plotted graphically. In computational analysis, these three models were analyzed ANSYS 14.0. The temperature distribution will be compared by both experimental and computationally.
