J. Mao et S. Rooke, TRANSIENT ANALYSIS OF EXTENDED SURFACES WITH CONVECTIVE TIP, International communications in heat and mass transfer, 21(1), 1994, pp. 85-94
Analytical transient solutions of a straight fin including fin tip hea
t transfer are developed using the method of Laplace transforms. The e
ffects of neglecting fin tip heat transfer are examined by comparing r
esults with available adiabatic tip solutions. The Harper-Brown approx
imate method is also explored for transient application.
