Extended Surface Temperature Profile Derivation (Fin Equation)

Organized by textbook: https://learncheme.com/ The temperature profile for an extended surface is derived from a differential energy balance. Assumes temperature is only a function of the axial direction (i.e. large thermal conductivity, small characteristic length, relatively small heat transfer coefficient, which means a small Biot number) This forms the mathematical basis for the analysis of fins. Made by faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and processed by the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder.
