This paper reveals the experimentation of vertical aluminium plate on which v-fins are attached. The parameters of performance like average heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number are calculated and compared. The rectangular fins are arranged to form a v-shape and are tested for various heater inputs like 50W, 100W, 125W and so on. As per the results it is concluded that the v-fins arrangement with apex downwards is the best arrangement as compared to rectangular arrangement.
