Numerical evaluation of the temperature depression at the base of a fin

In the textbook analysis of the performance of fins, it is assumed that the temperature at the attachment of the fin is known. It is a convenient assumption but it is not correct. The purpose of the attaching fins to a base surface is to have a greater surface area for convection and enhance the hea...
