Heat transfer from a surface can be enhanced by using fins. This chapter combines ideas from Chapters 5 and 12, and analyzes the cooling of a chip utilizing a heat sink with rectangular fins.

The temperature of a chip can be analyzed using unsteady-state and one-dimensional heat transfer rate equations in rectangular coordinates. Energy balance for transient heat transfer during the cooling of a chip can be written as follows:
