| Abstract | ||
| One dimensional analysis of heat transfer from fin is simple when only heat transfer by convection from fin surface. However, in some cases heat transfers by combined phenomena (convection and radiation), this makes the governing differential equation of heat transfer non-linear and the analytical solution becomes hard to solve. This paper uses an approximate method to solve the problem with high-quality results based on finite element technique. The method can be used for different types of fins and for different shapes. The results show suitable agreement between semi-exact solution and numerical solution | ||
