Natural convection heat transfer mechanism is widely used for removing the heat from a high temperature heat source without requiring any additional components. Fins attached to a hot surface in a vertical orientation evokes the natural convection heat transfer between the high temperature fin surfaces and the surrounding cold atmosphere. There have been numerous research – experimental, analytical and computational - had been conducted over the years in designing and analyzing the heat sinks. A detailed study on existing research work would help to identify the critical factors such as fin shape, fin size, fin positioning etc. and their influence on heat transfer rate. In this journal, a review of the existing literature on natural convection heat transfer from the heat sink and maximizing the heat transfer rate had been discussed.
