  • Abstract:
  • In order to keep electronic components at the ideal temperature, heatsinks are indispensable devices. Forced air cooling using a heatsink is appropriate and efficient for cooling low power applications. Specialised industries provide a variety of heatsinks to cool various types of electronic components. For most electronic or power electronic devices, managing the temporary heat generation from these devices requires the use of a proper heatsink. The heat transmission and evacuation processes are inextricably linked to the performance of the heatsink. This paper studied about the heat transfer characteristics of a heatsink applicable in an engineering application. In common, the aluminium heatsinks have utilized in electronic system. Here, the proposed heatsink to be studied by using Al6061 and Al6061+SiC. Also, the heatsink has suggested with cut-out cross section for fin alignment. Initially, the thermal analysis to be carried out for proposed heat sink design using FEA software ANSYS for both Al6061 and Al6061+SiC.
