Abstract: In this paper different profiles of fins were considered for thermal analysis (Rectangular, Triangular and helical)in an IC engine. The models were constructed of same dimensions and only outer profiles were changed using CATIA were made rectangular, tapered and helical .The boundary conditions were set up using Ansys .The main aim of this work is to study the steady state temperature distribution in Fins and to improve the heat transfer rate .In this paper we have also considered helical profile at various angle for heat transfer and temperature distribution.
Keywords: Ansys, CATIA, Heat Transfer, Fins
