Question: Consider a pin fin with variable conductivity k(T), constant cross sectional area Ac and constant perimeter, P. Develop the difference equations for steady one-dimensional conduction

Consider a pin fin with variable conductivity k(T), constant cross sectional area Ac and constant perimeter, P. Develop the difference equations for steady one-dimensional conduction in the fin and suggest a method for solving the equations. The fin is exposed to ambient temperature Tα through a heat transfer coefficient h. The fin tip is insulated and the fin root is at temperature To.GIVENFin with variable thermal conductivity,k(T)
