Abstract: A fin is an extended surface1which is used to increase the rate of heat transfer by connecting to the heating surface. The heat transfer rate can be increased by convection process and also by increasing surface area by means of extended surfaces. In the present analysis effect of increase in total surface area to improve the rate of heat transfer is studied. Thermal Analysis is performed for various perforated fin extensions with varied diameter. The analysis is carried out using commercially available finite element analysis software. Analysis called steady state thermal has been used to find out the temperature variations and heat flux of the fins.
