Abstract

Increasing performance of porous fins is one of the common priorities nowadays. Hence attention here is given to the convection and radiation effects in the analysis of performance of a porous triangular fin with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. Mathematical problem is solved by differential transformation method (DTM). The DTM results are compared with the numerical results obtained by fourth-order Runge–Kutta method in order to confirm the accuracy of the analytical solution. The dimensionless temperature distributions, fin efficiency and fin effectiveness are studied with respect to emerging parameters involved in the analysis. It is noted that there is an increase in fin performance in view of porous constraint.
