Abstract

The design of the heating system is critical in achieving optimal thermal efficiency. Solid Works, a well-known design software, was used to meticulously create heat sink fins in both rectangular and square designs. The company’s choice strikes a good balance between practical manufacture and outstanding heat dissipation. When the design was complete, a modification process was performed to boost their efficiency. The heat fins were coated with a thin layer of SiO₂ thermal coating that was precisely 0.25 mm thick. Heat is effectively transferred away from the electronic components because to the remarkable thermal properties of this silicon dioxide layer. Aluminum alloy (Al-alloy) and copper alloy (Cu-alloy). The thermal characteristics of the two materials vary. It is anticipated that performance would change upon merging with the SiO₂ layer, defining the conditions for a comparative analysis. ANSYS Workbench ® was used to analyze and objectively assess the performance of many heat sink designs that differed. The whole temperature distribution and heat flow of the settings two critical factors that determine the effectiveness heat management in thermal systems would be shown by this sophisticated instrument.
