Engineering education software has become a key factor in completing the objectives of an education program and achieving a student's results. This article presents the validation of the Profiles Fins program by comparing it with the results obtained by the already known Solidworks® that allows to determine the temperature distribution, heat transfer coefficient, efficiency and effectiveness of the different types of fins. The variation of these values with respect to their change in fin geometry was analyzed to give as results which present the best heat dissipation percentages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
