Heat sinks or fins stand deployed for enhancing heat transfer. That’s why, planned experiments remain fortified for examining the impacts of SSF pin fin on thermal dispersal concerning constant thermal value 6 W/cm2 . For that five chromel-alumel thermocouples are preferred, above and beyond, SSF pin fins materials of stainless steel and aluminum. As anticipated, for both the stated SSF pin fins, temperature declines for increasing length scale. Besides, both results are comparable with each other. However, temperature distributions over SSF aluminum pin fin declines relatively at faster rate comparable to that over SSF stainless steel pin fin. Obviously, it may be owing to higher thermal conductivity of SSF aluminum pin fin. Therefore, it carries superior, pleasant and momentous thermal performances.
