Fin Temperature CDF Tool
Group Wiki Page:
Calculation of Fin Temperature for Adiabatic Tip and Infinite Fins
The following CDF tool calculates the normalized fin temperature (θ(x) / θbase for two cases:
Case 1: Adiabatic fin tip
Case 2: Infinitely long fin
We use the conventional definition of the fin eigenvalue m:

Notes on the quantum of thermal conductance
Group Wiki Page:
The following is a dump from LaTex, just to see what happens…
begin{abstract}
In this module we derive the quantum of thermal conductance, and along the way, concepts related to phonon density of states and spatial dimensionality are discussed and applied. The end result is a simple...
