Cylindrical cooling fins are widely used in various engineering applications to enhance heat dissipation from surfaces, particularly in mechanical and thermal systems. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the modelling and analysis of cylindrical cooling fins, examining their thermal performance and effectiveness under different operating conditions. A mathematical model is developed based on the heat conduction principles, incorporating parameters such as fin geometry, thermal conductivity, and environmental conditions. The model is validated through numerical simulations and compared with experimental data to evaluate its accuracy. Parametric studies are conducted to investigate the effects of fin length, diameter, and material properties on the heat transfer efficiency of the fins. The results offer insights into the design optimization of cylindrical cooling fins for improved thermal performance. This work provides a foundational understanding for engineers and researchers aiming to enhance heat dissipation mechanisms in various applications.
