L. Rajeshwar Rao, S. S. K. Deepak

Abstract: In a gas turbine, airfoil cylindrical pin fin have been utilized extensively for internal cooling but in a past few decades, lots of efforts have been made by different researchers to study different fin array configurations. This research paper is about analysis of elliptical pin fins array for further improvement to perform. Heat transfer coefficient and flow resistance (pressure lose) are the important parameters which have been consider for any improvement in fin effectiveness. This paper is about review the previous research work on elliptical pin fins and also made some geometrical recommendation for the improvement of the fin overall effectiveness.

Keywords: Elliptical pin fin, heat transfer coefficient, pressure loss, streamwise
