Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāComputational studies were carried out by using the ANSYS FLUENT 14.0 to find the effects of various fin geometries (square, triangular, circular and diamond) with constant surface area on heat transfer and pressure drop in a finned micro channel heat sink. Simulation was performed with the Reynolds number in a range from 100 to 500 at constant boundary condition when Ag-water Nano fluid is used as a coolant, Boussines q approximation was used to get the buoyancy effect and N-S equations were used to solve for the fluid flow. From the studied it is illustrated that, diamond fins is dissipating more amount of heat after circular fins. It was also found that diamond fins gives minimum pressure drop compared to other finned heat sink and both triangular and square finned heat sink is having approximate same performance in thermal and hydraulic characteristics.
