- Third Party Resource Title: Conduction and Convection in a Fin of Uniform Cross Section
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/teaching_computation/workshop_2021/activities/245824.html
- Description: Conduction and convection are two important modes of heat transfer. To understand the mechanisms of these two types of heat transfer processes, we study the temperature distribution in a fin of uniform cross section through analytical and numerical approaches. Various boundary conditions are investigated to demonstrate the effects of conduction and convection on the temperature distribution. Some of the related engineering applications of this study include the design of a heat exchanger with fins or a thermal radiator.
