Abstract:This paper deals with the thermal and fluid flow behavior of porous and non-porous fins. Initially, a solid heat sink with circular fins is analyzed and validated. Further work is done making circular tapered porous fin of the same volume and height as of uniform circular fin. The geometrical parameters are porosity (Ø = 0.1–0.92), pore diameter ( dp), fiber diameter ( df), radius ratio ( R*), and pores per inch (PPI = 10). Four different cases viz., case I ( R* = 1.2), case II ( R* = 1.5), case III ( R* = 2),… Show more
“…Rajan et al [52] used the numerical and optimization strategies to analyze the heat transfer through fin. A more recent survey on the fin analysis can be found in the references [53] , [54] , [55] , [56] .…”
