Abstract
⺠We present closed-form temperature solutions for polymeric composite two-dimensional annular fins subject to convective-tip boundary condition and the contact resistance at the fin base. ⺠The generalized results are presented in terms of one geometric parameter and three dimensionless fin parameters. ⺠Several special cases including the insulated tip boundary condition are recovered from the generalized benchmark solutions. ⺠Dimensionless heat transfer rates are also presented for the annular fins that can help to solve design and optimization problems of many natural and forced convection polymeric composite fins.
