Yes / In recent times, the subject of effective cooling have become an interesting research topic
for electronic and mechanical engineers due to the increased miniaturization trend in modern
electronic systems. However, fins are useful for cooling various low and high power electronic
systems. For improved thermal management of electronic systems, porous fins of functionally graded
materials (FGM) have been identified as a viable candidate to enhance cooling. The present study
presents an analysis of a convective–radiative porous fin of FGM. For theoretical investigations,
the thermal property of the functionally graded material is assumed to follow linear and power-law
functions. In this study, we investigated the effects of inhomogeneity index of FGM, convective and
radiative variables on the thermal performance of the porous heatsink. The results of the present
study show that an increase in the inhomogeneity index of FGM, convective and radiative parameter
improves fin efficiency. Moreover, the rate of heat transfer in longitudinal FGM fin increases as b
increases. The temperature prediction using the Adomian decomposition method is in excellent
agreement with other analytical and method.
