Exact, analytic temperature distributions of pin fins with constant thermal conductivity and power‐law type heat transfer coefficient

Abstract: In this Technical Note, the problem of determining the temperature distribution in a pin fin with power-law heat transfer coefficients is addressed. It is demonstrated that the governing fin equation, a nonlinear second-order differential equation, is exactly solvable for the entire range of the exponent in the power-law heat transfer coefficients. The exact, closed-form analytical solutions in implicit form are convenient for physical interpretation and optimization for maximum heat transfer. Furthermore, it … Show more
