As. Wood et al., STEADY-STATE HEAT-TRANSFER THROUGH EXTENDED PLANE SURFACES, International communications in heat and mass transfer, 22(1), 1995, pp. 99-109
We present a comparative study of several descriptions of steady-state
heat flow through a wall and an attached extended surface (fin). A nu
mber of well-known one-dimensional models are described in dimensionle
ss terms and analytic solutions are derived. Comparisons are made with
regard to the prediction of temperature profiles and heat transfer ra
tes.
