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 />

⎛ 1<br />

⎠<br />

( T −T<br />

) = 0<br />

∞<br />

Its solution for appropriate boundary conditions provides the<br />

temperature distribution, which may be used with Fourier’s equation (<br />

q x<br />

= −kA ) to calculate the conduction rate at any x.<br />
