ABSTRACT
Finite difference simulation of horizontal fin with an aspect ratio of 3 has been conducted in the present study for cooling of electronic equipment. Two-dimensional heat conduction equation governs the physical problem. Three different materials Aluminium, Copper and Nickel will be studied to see the effect of thermophysical property on the cooling rate of fin at particular given temperature range or heat flux range. Appropriate boundary conditions have been adopted which represent the actual physical scenario of a fin. MATLAB used to simulate the governing equation and boundary conditions.
