In the present work, horizontal-base pin fin heat sinks exposed to free convection in air are studied. They are made of aluminum, and there is no contact resistance between the base and the fins. For the same base dimensions the fin height and pitch vary. The fins have a constant square cross-section. The edges of the sink are blocked: the surrounding insulation is flush with the fin tips. The effect of fin height and pitch on the performance of the sink is studied experimentally and numerically. In the experiments, the heat sinks are heated using foil electrical heaters. The heat input is set, and temperatures of the base and fins are measured. In the corresponding numerical study, the sinks and their environment are modeled using the Fluent 6 software. The results show that heat transfer enhancement due to the fins is not monotonic. The differences between sparsely and densely populated sinks are analyzed for various fin heights. Also assessed are effects of the blocked edges as compared to the previously studied cases where the sink edges were exposed to the surroundings.

A Numerical study on the effect of dissipation on a steady free convection flow through a porous vertical plate is made. The relevant non-leaner boundary equations are made dimensionless using specific non-dimensional variables. The corresponding non-similar partial differential equations are solved using implicit finite difference method with Keller-Box scheme. The results are then presented graphically and discussed thereafter. Keywords: porous plate; viscous dissipation; natural convection.

AbstractFree convection boundary layer flow past a semi-infinite vertical plate in a doubly stratified fluid-saturated porous medium in the presence of constant suction/injection is analyzed. The flow in the porous medium is described by the Brinkman–Forchheimer-based model. A suitable coordinate transformation is introduced, and the obtained system of non-similar, coupled and nonlinear partial differential equations is solved numerically using the spectral quasi-linearization method. The effects of buoyancy parameter, Darcy number, Forchheimer parameter, suction/injection parameter, thermal and solutal stratification parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are presented graphically. Further, the local skin friction coefficient, heat and mass transfer rates are presented graphically.
