چکیده
The performance of a heatsink with and without staggered fins is analyzed in the present work. The effect of flow resistance on thermal behavior of staggered plate heatsinks were analyzed in the present study. Ansys FLUENT has been used for the present simulation. Authors have used three different models with and without staggered arrangement. The result shows advantage of staggered heat sink over standard heat sink in terms of heat transfer. The comparison of standard and staggered model were performed by considering quality factor, pumping power and heat transfer rate experienced by the respective fins. It has been observed that use of staggered heat sink always leads to maximization of heat transfer.

Enhancement of Natural Convection Heat Transfer in Annular Enclosures
Natural convection heat transfer was investigated experimentally in a concentric-cylinders annulus. To enhance the rate of heat transfer, pin fins were installed on the surface of the inner cylinder. Two fin arrangements were employed, namely, staggered and in-line arrangements. The length of the fins varied from 2 to 8 cm and the Rayleigh number Ra changed in the range from 5 x 105 to 5 x 106...

Extended surfaces are one of the most important approaches to increase the heat transfer rate. According to the Fourier law, the heat transfer increases by increasing the contact surface of body and fluid. In this study, the effect of heat transfer has been investigated on two sets of engineered porous fins, in which the balls with different materials are sintered together. The fluid flow throu...
