Fig.7.5 Energy balance for an extended surface<br />
A general form of the energy equation for an extended surface is as<br />
follows:<br />
2<br />
d T<br />
2<br />
dx<br />
⎛ 1<br />

⎛ 1<br />

⎝ Ac<br />

⎠<br />
( T −T<br />

Its solution for appropriate boundary conditions provides the<br />
temperature distribution, which may be used with Fourier’s equation (<br />
