A fractional model of convective radial fins with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. Romanian Reports In Physics, 69(1).1221-1451https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/1849The principal purpose of the present article is to examine a fractional model of convective radial fins having constant and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. In order to solve fractional order energy balance equation, a numerical algorithm namely homotopy analysis transform method is considered. The fin temperature is derived in terms of thermo-geometric fin parameter. Our method is not limited to the use of a small parameter, such as in the standard perturbation technique. The numerical simulation for temperature and fin tip temperature are presented graphically. The results can be used in thermal design to consider radial fins having both constant and temperature-dependent thermal conductivity.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessThermal ConductivityRadial FinsFractional Energy Balance EquationHATMArticle691
