The heat sink in the form of extended surfaces or fins are used on various surfaces of different engineering applications, so the study of convective heat transfer and the fluid which moves surrounding is of vital importance. The heat generated in such applications needs to be dissipated to the surrounding atmosphere for safe working and to increase the efficiency of the equipment. The extended surfaces or fins are used for maximum dissipation of heat from the surfaces. Natural convection is used for such applications because it is a reliable and economical heat exchange process. With the creation of the surface boundary layer, the fins over the vertical surface resist the heat exchange from such surfaces. To enhance the heat transfer from vertical surfaces various geometries of fins are used. The present paper reviewed the work done by various researchers in natural convection enhancement over vertical surfaces by using v shape configurations. The various applications of the v shape configurations have been reviewed. The more effective fin geometry used by many researchers is v shape fin configurations. The V shape configurations work as flow disturber and extended surfaces. It is also stated that this v fin configuration may be used in various other applications for natural convection enhancement.
