Abstract
The main objective of this experimental study is to quantify and compare the natural convection heat transfer enhancement of perforated fin array with various fin spacing, perforation angle, perforation diameter, pitch of perforation and heater inputs. The variables for this natural convection cooling with the help of finned surfaces are orientation and geometry. In this study, the steady state heat transfer from the solid fin and perforated fin arrays are measured. The present study establishes optimized fin setup for various parameters of fin geometry and its effect on heat transfer results. The results obtained are matched well and showed similar trend and satisfactory agreement for heat transfer under natural convection. From all results it is concluded that the heat transfer rate for the fins of perforation with constant pitch and 4 mm diameter with 45° geometry of perforation is optimum fin and the array of this fin with 10 mm spacing is best suited horizontal rectangular fin array.
