Comparison of thermal performances of plate-fin and pin-fin heat sinks subject to an impinging flow

Computational Analysis of Heat sink or Extended Surface -“A Comprehensive Review”

“…Configuration of rectangular fins are subjected to different ways on the surface and natural convective heat transfer coefficient on these no slope surfaces has examined and optimization has been carried out. Dong [4] experimentally compare the thermal performances of two types of heat sinks i.e. plate-fin and pin-fin heat sinks which are subjected to impinging flow for various flow rates and channel widths.…”

Interrelation between pin length and heat exchanger performance

“…However, it the optimization of entire heat exchanger is in the focus of analysis, the performance of pin fins is evaluated from view point of the performance of heat exchanger in specific applications. Hence Kim et al [16] provide an extensive analysis of performance of various plate-fin and pin fin heat sinks, subject to impinging flow, such as those used in electronic industry. Based on optimization model built from experimental results the authors investigated the optimal plate-fin and pin fin arrangement characterized with minimal thermal resistance for a fixed pumping power.…”

Thermal performance of plate fin heat sink cooled by air slot impinging jet with different cross-sectional area

“…A comparison between the performance of pin fin shape and plate fins was carried out by Kim et al [16]. They compared thermal performances of plate and pin fin heat sinks subjected to an impinging flow.…”
