Four different fin designs have been tested to determine which design to prefer for heat sinks used for cooling of electronics. The different fin designs include straight fins and pin fins with circular, quadratic and elliptical cross section. The thermal performance of the heat sinks is evaluated by comparing the thermal resistance of the heat sinks at equal velocity and equal pressure drop. The average heat transfer coefficient is also calculated.
