1)Write the one-dimensional heat diffusion equation with thermal generation per unit volume and constant properties, assuming unsteady heat transfer.
2)
Consider two identical pin fins, however one of the pin fins has a diameter which is 2X larger than the other. Comment on the effect this may or may not have in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
Now consider two plate fins which are identical, however one is 2X thicker, How does this effect the efficient and effectiveness?
