Comparative analysis of fin heat transfer using simulation software

Engineering education software has become a key factor in completing the objectives of an education program and achieving a student's results. This article presents the validation of the Profiles Fins program by comparing it with the results obtained by the already known Solidworks® that allows to determine the temperature distribution, heat transfer coefficient, efficiency and effectiveness of the different types of fins. The variation of these values with respect to their change in fin geometry was analyzed to give as results which present the best heat dissipation percentages.
