In order to enhance heat transfer between primary surface and the environment, radiating extended surfaces are commonly utilized. Especially in the case of large temperature differences, variable thermal conductivity has a strong effect on performance of such a surface. In this paper, variational iteration method is used to analyze convective straight and radial fins with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. In order to show the efficiency of variational iteration method (VIM), the results obtained from VIM analysis are compared with previously obtained results using Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the results from finite element analysis. VIM produces analytical expressions for the solution of nonlinear differential equations. However, these expressions obtained from VIM must be tested with respect to the results obtained from a reliable numerical method or analytical solution. This work assures that VIM is a promising method for the analysis of convective straight and radial fin problems.

ABSTRACTThe temperature-dependent cross-plane thermal conductivity of a 1-μm thick 50Å Bi / 50Å Sb superlattice on a (111) CdTe substrate was measured, using a differential 3-ω method. This method uses the temperature difference between the superlattice sample and a reference sample to calculate its cross-plane thermal conductivity. However, the substrate thermal conductivity is comparable to or smaller than the superlattice thermal conductivity near room temperature. This results in a very small or negative temperature difference, making the existing data reduction method inapplicable. Based on an improved model, the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of the Bi/Sb superlattice is obtained and is about half of the literature value of Bi0.5Sb0.5 bulk alloy.
