ABSTRACT
The current work determines the rate of heat flow from a heating element. Extended tapered surfaces are provided on the element in order to enhance better convection. Overall heat transfer during this process is determined by modeling and meshing using finite element software and its validation is done using the governing equations. The heat dissipation from the element is also compared with the rectangular fins provided around it. The study is conducted by considering various materials to obtain optimum material selection to enhance the better flow of heat from the system.
