Conical Fins - Heat Transfer

[QUOTE="Mir17, post: 4546589, member: 490708"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Derive a differential equation (do not solve) for the temperature distribution in a straight conical fin. Assume one dimensional heat flow. This equation is assumed to be 1-D steady state conduction. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] For this problem, we can use the generalized fin equation. Please see the attached image of the equation because I do not know how to use the equation editor on here. [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] For the conical fin problem I understand that the cross sectional area is non-uniform and it changes with position. I need to simplify the generalized fin equations using the assumptions of a conical shape fin and then acquire an ordinary differential equation for temperature distribution. I am unsure of any other assumptions I can use for conical fins to further simplify the generalized equation into an ordinary differential equation. [/QUOTE]
