Optimum length for pin fins used in electronic cooling

The present work deals with the heat transfer analysis of pin fins of various geometries namely ─ circular, triangular and rectangular and thus arrive at the optimum design. To this end, the fin with convective boundary tip is considered and the equation governing the one-dimensional heat conduct...
