Abstract
This study investigates heat characteristics transferred from a rectangular perforated fins, which are widely used in engineering applications for thermal management. The research focuses on the radial shaped perforation geometry effects on the fins thermal performance. Perforation is introduced to reduce the weight of the fins and improve thermal dispersion by increasing the ratio of exposed area to volume and promoting better airflow. A combination of experimental testing and CFD simulations is employed to examine parameters such as Nusselt number, overall thermal efficiency, and effectiveness. The results indicate that strategically placed perforations significantly improve heat transfer performance while reducing material usage by 16% of area. The experimental data closely matched the numerical results with an error of 3.99%. It has been found that the radial fin perforation had achieved a significant overall efficiency and effectiveness enhancement. Present work provides insights into optimizing perforation patterns for various applications, offering an effective solution for lightweight and high-performance heat transfer systems in automotive, aerospace, and electronic cooling industries.
