Abstract: Heat Transfer enhancement needs buoyancy force. This is to be achieved by making perforations on fin surfaces. The present paper is a study on the enhancement of heat transfer in terms of density, velocity and temperature with three different perforation geometry (parallel square, inclined square and circular). CFD was used to carry out the study of density variation, velocity and temperature drop among different perforated fins. This type of perforated fin has an improvement in heat transfer rate over its dimensionally equivalent solid fin.
