A Lie Symmetry Classification of a Nonlinear Fin Equation in Cylindrical Coordinates

The nonlinear fin equation in cylindrical coordinates is considered. Assuming a radial variable heat transfer coefficient and temperature dependent thermal conductivity, a complete classification of these two functions is obtained via Lie symmetry analysis. Using these Lie symmetries, we carry out r...
