Abstract
The “ Analyzing Laminar and Turbulent Flow Performance in Finned Heat
Transfer Systems” is a study or research project that focuses on
assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of heat transfer systems
equipped with finned surfaces. Optimizing thermal management in passive
cooling pin fin devices is the focus of this research. The Reynolds
number is a key parameter in its study of heat transfer efficiency and
flow dynamics, distinguishing laminar and turbulent flows. The Shear
Stress Transport (SST) k-omega model is used to simulate laminar and
turbulent flows in finer heat transfer systems. Comparing the two flow
regimes, it measures velocity, temperature, pressure, Reynolds number,
and skin friction coefficient. The author wants to find the best fin
design for heat transmission. Both flow types visually display
streamlined patterns. The cooled heat transfer system is laminar, and
turbulent flow is covered in ”Results and Discussion”. In laminar flow,
velocities ranged from 0 to 0.129 m/s, static temperature varied from
305 to 320 K, static pressure ranged from -0.02 to 0.064 Pa, Reynolds
number ranged from 128 to 243, and skin friction coefficient varied from
0.0048 to 0.01. In turbulent flow, velocities ranged from 0 to 0.235
m/s, static temperature varied from 300 to 320 K, static pressure ranged
from -0.02 to 0.064 Pa, Reynolds number ranged from 2658 to 3736, and
skin friction coefficient varied from 0.00487 to 0.012. Streamline
patterns were also illustrated for both flows.
