Abstract
We analyze steady-state heat conduction in a triangular-profile fin using a relatively new, exact series method of solution known as the differential transform method. This method converges with only six terms or less for the cases considered. Its advantage is that, unlike many popular methods, it is an exact method and yet it does not require the use of Bessel or other special functions

Optimization of circular fins with variable thermal parameters

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal length of a rectangular profile circular fin with variable thermal conductivity and convective heat transfer coefficients was investigated. And the authors showed that for both convection-radiation and pure radiation, the length of the optimum fin for higher temperatures is shorter than the length for the fin with lower temperatures.
