Analytical Solutions for Steady Heat Transfer in Longitudinal Fins with Temperature-Dependent Properties
Explicit analytical expressions for the temperature profile, fin efficiency, and heat flux in a longitudinal fin are derived. Here, thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient depend on the temperature. The differential transform method (DTM) is employed to construct the analytical (series) s...
