Transient Temperature Solutions of a Cylindrical Fin with Lateral Heat Loss
Authors: , , , , ,
Abstract: Analytical temperature solutions to the transient heat conduction for a two dimensional cylindrical fin with lateral heat source together with various convective effects on lateral surface is obtained by the method of superposition and separation variables. The temperature distributions are generalized for a linear combination of the product of Bessel function, Fourier series and exponential type for nine different cases. Relevant connections with some other closely-related recent works are also indicated.
