| description | This paper involves the use of the Galerkin finite elementmethod to determine the temperature distribution in a rectangular cooling fin.The governing equation is a one-dimensional second order differential equation.The result shows that the temperature at the tip of the rectangular cooling finwhich was 1000C and begins to drop as it proceeds to theother end of the rectangular cooling fin which is 61.55180C at 0.1m. The result obtained from the finite elementsolutions when compared with the analytical solution, shows that the accuracywas very high with the highest percentage error of 0.000432875. It can bestated that the finite element solution is an accurate method for determiningthe temperature distribution in a rectangular cooling fin. |
