摘要
We consider a heat transfer problem of a longitudinal fin with triangular and parabolic profiles. Both thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient are assumed to be temperature-dependent, and given by power laws. We construct exact solution when the problem is linearizable. In the other case, classical Lie symmetry techniques are employed to analyze the problem. The obtained exact solutions satisfy the realistic boundary conditions. The effects of the physical applicable parameters such as thermo-geometric fin parameter and the fin efficiency are analyzed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
