Module 3 : Convective Heat transfer: One dimensional

Lecture 12

However, the other boundary conditions depend on the physical situation of the problem. A few of the typical cases are,
Case I: The fin is very long and thus the temperature at the end of the fin is same as that of the ambient fluid.
Case II: The fin is of finite length and looses heat from its end by convection.

Case III: The end of the fin is insulated so that  at
