An experimental evaluation of heat flow through staggered pin fin array by forced convection was set up in the thermodynamics laboratory for purpose of thesis study. All the main parameters that can significantly influence the heat transfer performance of staggered pin fin arrays have been examined thoroughly. An experimental set-up was designed to study the heat transfer performance inside the duct channel. The material is used in laboratory is called mild steel and its fins assembly with the plate heater. The pin fins was cylindrical in shape. The total number of fin was 23 fins attached on the base of the plate heater. The length of the fin was 12 cm with the diameter of 1 cm. The base area covered 9.5 cm x 9.3 cm. The transverse pitch, longitudinal pitch, and the diagonal pitch were 2cm, 2cm, and 1.5 cm respectively. Air was used as a working fluid in the experiment. Reynolds Number, Nusselt Number, and the Prandtl Number are the equations that use in heat transfer calculation. The result of findings will be taken into further experimentation through some critical results, discussion and conclusion.
