  Abstract: Efficient thermal management is essential for improving the performance and reliability of modern engineering systems and electronic devices. This study presents the design, simulation, and optimization of a pin-fin heat sink using SolidWorks for three-dimensional modeling and ANSYS for thermal and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. Four different pin-fin geometries, namely square, pentagon, octagon, and circular fins, are considered to evaluate their thermal performance under varying operating conditions. Aluminum is …
