Material thermal properties are temperature dependent, and this effect cannot be disregarded at elevated design temperatures. Based upon the principle of equivalent linearization, analytical solutions are developed for thermally symmetric planar solids. The solution method is, in turn, extended to a composite wall whose individual thermal conductivities are also temperature dependent. As a demonstration of the method’s accuracy several numerical examples are shown.

An analytical study of the temperature distribution along thin fins with temperature-dependent thermal properties and internal heat generation is presented. The analysis utilizes a recently published bounding procedure which yields analytical and continuous bounding functions for the temperature distribution. Several numerical examples are considered. Tabular and graphical results are given. The effects of variable thermal properties and internal heat generation are also shown.

In this chapter we provide the review and a narrative of some obtained results for steady and transient heat transfer though extended surfaces (fins). A particular attention is given to exact and approximate analytical solutions of models describing heat transfer under various conditions, for example, when thermal conductivity and heat transfer are temperature dependent. We also consider fins of different profiles and shapes. The dependence of thermal properties render the considered models nonlinear, and this adds a complication and difficulty to solve these model exactly. However, the nonlinear problems are more realistic and physically sound. The approximate analytical solutions give insight into heat transfer in fins and as such assist in the designs for better efficiencies and effectiveness.

The analytical solutions of non-Fourier Pennes and Chen–Holmes equations are obtained using the Laplace transformation and particular solution method in the present paper. As an application, the effects of the thermal relaxation time τ, the blood perfusion wb, and the blood flow velocity v on the biological skin and inner tissue temperature T are studied in detail. The results obtained in this study provide a good alternative method to study the bio-heat and a biophysical insight into the understanding of the heat transfer in the biotissue.
