✦ Synopsis
The theoretical study of the heat flow within finned heat exchangers is of considerable practical importance because of the extensive utilization of a finned surface for heat transfer enchancement in applications varying from air-cooled heat exchangers in the process industries to heat rejection equipment in space vehicles. This paper investigates the transient heat transfer in two-dimensional straight fins of various shapes with the base subjected to a constant heat flux. In order to obtain the solutions of the governing equation which is a partial differential equation, the following procedures of analysis should be performed:
