The thermal performance of engine cylinder fins plays a critical role in ensuring the efficiency and longevity of internal combustion engines. The fins enhance heat dissipation, helping to prevent engine overheating and failure. Over time, various geometries, materials, and analytical methods have been employed to improve the heat transfer capacity of fins. This review focuses on recent advancements in the thermal analysis of engine cylinder fins, highlighting developments in fin design, material selection, and cooling techniques. Computational tools such as the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Design of Experiments (DOE) are extensively discussed, providing insight into their contribution to optimizing fin performance. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research directions in this area.
