Forced air convection heat pipe cooling systems play an essential role in managing the thermal performance of the electronic, power electronic, air conditioning, etc. When a large amount of heat is dissipated from the devices it becomes essential to cool the system to avoid the damage of the components. For this, an approach is proposed which is to enhance the heat transfer of the heat pipe heat exchanger using improved fin design consisting the vortex generator. The vortex generators can be placed on the existing setup with low cost and no negative impact on system. The modification implemented is studied numerically using CFD. The results show that addition of vortex generator enhances the system output by increasing the heat transfer. This finds application in daily appliances like laptops, PC’s, air conditioner, etc.
