Absract: Today's several new techniques have to be compelled to be explored for the developments of recent electronic devices for dissipating high heat flux for ensure stable and optimum operation. Like micro-channel heat sinks because of their tiny mass and volume still as larger space for cooling of high heat flux chips with using pin fins with different shapes and different arrangements. So as to more optimize the small heat sink performance, the various kinds of nano-fluids are used as a cooling agent. The most aim of this work is to review numerous researches tired past to boost heat transfer rate and hydraulic behaviour of small pin fins heat sink by either changing its geometry, climate condition and material, spacing between the fins and its configuration with differing kinds of nano-fluids, additionally with completely different size and concentration of nano particle . Keywords-heat transfer, fins, nano fluid, computational fluid dynamic.
I.INTRODUCTION Fins are used as associate extended surface to extend the heat transfer rate in a very big selection of engineering applications, and provide a sensible approach while not use of an excessive quantity of primary area for achieving a large heat transfer area. It's normally used for heat management in electrical appliances, cooling of combustion engine, like fins in an exceedingly automobile radiator. Therefore its vital issue to analysis the behavior of the fin in relation to temperature distribution for optimize the effectiveness. currently the present approach for enhance the heat transfer rate Nano-fluid is employed as a medium, containing nanoparticles (1-100 nm) of metal or metal compound that are uniformly and stably distributed in a base fluid for increase the thermal conductivity of base fluid. So that heat transfer from fin arrays has been studied extensively, both analytically and through an experiment.
