Pins fins are the most commonly used heat exchanging device. By aiming to change the dimensions and shapes of the fins, industries are consistently working with it. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of the many pin fin shapes on the thermal performance by helpof Ansys software. For effective heat transfer the various types of perforation are used on pin fin. The main attention is to increase the heat transfer rate and temperature drop through the fin surface for better performance. For better performance, copper is used but generally Aluminium are widely used because of its low weight and low cost. The entire process is done by using solid works and ansys software. The 3d model is made on solid works having many shapes like solid pin fin with circular holes, rectangular holes, triangular holes and rectangular holes with slot. Then thermal analysis is accomplished by Ansys. After analysis, we found that the maximum temperature drop is in the solid pin fin with rectangular holes and slot. It’s temperature drop is 71.370c. After that we find out the heat transfer for each shape and got that solid pin fin with rectangular holes and slot have maximum heat transfer as 26.96 J/s among all other shapes. Their maximum heat transfer allows to transfer more heat and give better performance.
