.... Findings The system is then solved analytically for the temperature distribution through the fin. The fin tip temperatures are calculated, and the heat transfer analysis is made with varying physical parameters. And finally, observations are discussed leading to better fin efficiency and heat transfer...

... of the temperature in the vicinity of the mounted surface, eventually requiring no numerical treatment at all to resolve the temperature field. Findings Explicit closed-form formulae for the fin tip temperature as well as for the heat transfer rate, hence for the fin efficiency, which are functions...
