Abstract Numerical experiments involving heat transfer were performed to analyze the influence of both fin thermo-geometric parameter and cooling
boundary conditions on the temperature distribution and the efficiency of convective cooled inhomogeneous rectangular fin. The inhomogeneity of
the fin is due to both temperature dependent thermal conductivity and convection heat coefficients. The analysis was facilitated by the use of the
differential transformation method, which can solve nonlinear differential equation. A specific application is first made for temperature/efficiency
homogeneous fin predictions and the results are in excellent agreement with standard exact results. Predictions of inhomogeneous fin temperature
and efficiency for three different… More >
