{"Image DocumentName": "Nature and Rationale (cont.)", "Image ImageDescription": "What is the actual functional dependence of the temperature distribution in. the solid? If the temperature distribution is assumed to be one-dimensional, that is, T=T(x) , how should the value of T be interpreted for any x location? How does vary with x ? When may the assumption of one-dimensional conduction be viewed as an. excellent approximation? The thin-fin approximation. Extended surfaces may exist in many situations but are commonly used as. fins to enhance heat transfer by increasing the surface area available for. convection (and/or radiation). They are particularly beneficial when is small, as for a gas and natural convection. Some typical fin configurations: Straight fins of (a) uniform and (b) non-uniform cross sections; (c) annular. fin, and (d) pin fin of non-uniform cross section.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
