Classical Lie Point Symmetry Analysis of a Steady Nonlinear One-Dimensional Fin Problem

We consider the one-dimensional steady fin problem with the Dirichlet boundary condition at one end and the Neumann boundary condition at the other. Both the thermal conductivity and the heat transfer coefficient are given as arbitrary functions of temperature. We perform preliminary group classific...
