Abstract In the present study, the numerical investigation has been performed for a phase change material (PCM)-based longitudinal fin heat sink. The fins are taken as an integral part of the heat sink and are made up of aluminum. The PCM considered in the study is RT44HC. Heat is transferred to the heat sink through its horizontal base. In order to simulate the melting behavior of the PCM, volume of fluid model has been used. To attain the best configuration with optimum operational time, Taguchi method has been used followed by analysis of melt fraction and maximum base temperature. The optimized heat sink configuration with maximum operational time has been obtained at the critical temperatures of 54.8 °C, 63 °C, and 72.6 °C.
