Fins or extended surfaces have many applications in heat transfer such as air conditioning, refrigeration,automobile, chemical processing equipment and electrical chips for increasing the heat transfer rate. Recently,researchers and engineers in this field have been paying more attention to both energy conservation and equipment sizereduction due to energy crisis in the world.So, optimizing the heat transfer is highly desired for effective energy utilization. Because the weight andmaterial cost of the extended surfaces are very important, fin dimensions should be optimized so that the least amount offin material be used to dissipate a given amount of heat flow, or alternatively that the highest dissipation rate beobtained from a given volume of fin material.The analysis is carried out for various models of the engine cylinder fins. The modeling is done in CreoParametric 2.0, thermal analysis is done in Ansys 15.0 (Workbench 15.0). The thermal analysis is performed to check forthe better material which can be used to the engine cylinder fins in order to increase the performance. With differentshapes and based on the results obtained the geometry that yielded the maximum beneficiary results was identified.
