Cylindrical Cooling Fin focuses on enhancing heat dissipation efficiency in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) by optimizing cooling fin designs. This study examines the thermal performance of three fin geometries—pin fin, flat fin, and trapezoidal fin—using aluminum as the material due to its high thermal conductivity and lightweight properties. A 3D model of the motor was developed in SolidWorks, which was then used for simulation and thermal analysis in ANSYS. The primary objective is to determine the most efficient fin geometry for maximizing heat flux and improving the thermal management system of the motor. Each fin type is analyzed under identical operating conditions to evaluate heat flux and performance. The results of this study will help identify the optimal fin configuration for enhancing motor efficiency, increasing operational lifespan, and improving overall thermal management.
