Numerical Investigation on Temperature Distribution of Triangular and Rectangular Shaped Aluminum and Copper Fins

In electric equipment like servers, power generators, transformers and commonly equipped in the cooling of IC engines, fins are typically used for heat controls. Fins have expanded surfaces, which are used by convection mode to increase heat transfer and are used in several industrial and domestic applications. For selecting the geometry of the end, which gives optimum effectiveness and also the economy, it is very important to calculate the temperature distribution over the fin surface. A variety of research is performed on the fin materials and its geometry to strengthen its application. The fins are selected from a rectangular, triangle and trapezoidal fine configuration. Likewise, most of the fins are made of metals such as copper and aluminum. Numerical analysis for rectangular and triangular fin materials such as copper and aluminum is discussed in this study. An empirical method using MATLAB is carried out, and the results were compared with the distribution of the temperature of the fin at the various spatial position and the heat transfer analysis of the fin materials at the entire operations of CI engine.
