Abstract

The straight rectangular fin is analyzed using the one-dimensional analytic method and the finite difference method. For the finite difference method, the numbers of nodes vary from 20 to 100. The relative errors of heat loss and temperature between the analytic method and the finite difference method are represented as a function of Biot Number and dimensionless fin length. One of the results shows that the relative error between the analytic method and the finite difference method decreases as the numbers of nodes for finite difference method increase.
