This report details a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of heat transfer in circular fins, focusing on optimizing fin configurations for enhanced cooling performance. The study investigates various setups, including air inlets and outlets in different arrangements, to determine the most effective design for maximizing heat transfer rates. The methodology involves modeling the geometries in SOLIDWORKS, meshing the designs, and simulating fluid flow and thermal generation using ANSYS FLUENT. The report outlines the computational setup, including the selection of the K-epsilon turbulence model, material properties (aluminum fins), and boundary conditions for each configuration. The results section presents temperature contours, velocity vectors, and streamlines for each setup, enabling a comparative analysis of their cooling efficiencies. The objective is to identify the optimal fin configuration that achieves the highest rate of heat transfer, thus improving the cooling of electronic components.
