From the above two values of “θ” we have;
The equation (4) gives the exact solution and by using this equation we can find the
value of “θ” for any value of “x”, where θ=T-Tα
The general solution for equation (4) can also be written in form of hyperbolic
function. Since we know that;

Constant Cross Sectional Area Fins
Here are some special cases for fins of constant cross sectional area with variousboundary conditions depending upon the various physical conditions.
CASE 1 The fin is very long, and the temperature at the end of the fin is essentially
that of the surrounding fluid.
CASE 2 The fin is of finite length, specified cross sectional area and loses heat by
convection from its end.
CASE 3 The fin is of finite length, negligible cross sectional area and insulated
tip. so that dT/dx = 0 at x = L.
