The present project gives the thermal analysis of the cylindrical and conical profile of the fin by experimentally.
The dimension of both fins is same. Length of the fin is 116 mm and diameter of the fin is 18 mm. In this project, we have
chosen two profile of fin-like cylindrical, and conical. The material of fin is same for both profile which is alluminum
alloy. Fins are prepared by CNC machine. We have conducted the experiment for free convection. We have found the
temperature distribution for all the cases and after calculation of data, we have compared the heat transfer coefficient,
heat transfer rate, Nusselt number (Nu), effectiveness and efficiency of both profile of the fin. We have found from an
experiment, effectiveness is maximum for the cylindrical profile, but efficiency is lowest and in case conical efficiency is
maximum but effectiveness is very less.
