In many engineering applications, extended surfaces referred to as fins are used to enhance convective heat transfer. The problem of forced convection heat transfer for perforated fins was investigated in this work. An experimental study was conducted to investigate the heat by forced convection transfer in a rectangular non-perforated fin and circular perforated fin. The investigation is conducted to compare the heat transfer rate of two different fins one is with circular perforation and another one is without perforations. The work done on various kinds of fins, the effect of perforation shape or geometry on the heat transfer was simulated in ANSYS 17.2 to work out the simplest type of fin to be used. The parameters which were considered are the thermal properties of the fin and perforations. The study takes into account the gain in fin surface area and the extent of heat transfer enhancement due to perforations. The comparison between experimental results and software results of the kinds of fins perforation was analyzed for the heat transfer coefficient to clarify the simplest perforation shape for the specified application.
