The following assumptions are made for the analysis of heat flow through the fin:

  1. Steady state conduction.
  2. No heat generation within the fin.
  3. Uniform heat transfer coefficient (h) over the entire surface of the fin.
  4. Homogeneous and isotropic fin material (i.e. thermal conductivity of material constant).
  5. Negligible contact thermal resistance. …
