This paper studies a class of nonlinear problems of convective longitudinal fins with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient. For thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient dominated by power-law nonlinearity, the exact temperature distribution is obtained analytically in an implicit form. In particular, the explicit expressions of the fin temperature distribution are derived explicitly for some special cases. An analytical expression for fin efficiency is given as a function of a thermogeometric parameter. The influences of the nonlinearity and the thermogeometric parameter on the temperature and thermal performance are analyzed. The temperature distribution and the fin efficiency exhibit completely different behaviors when the power-law exponent of the heat transfer coefficient is more or less than negative unity.

In this paper, homotopy perturbation method has been used to evaluate the temperature distribution of annular fin with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and to determine the temperature distribution within the fin. This method is useful and practical for solving the nonlinear heat transfer equation, which is associated with variable thermal conductivity condition. The homotopy perturbation method provides an approximate analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series. The annular fin heat transfer rate with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity has been obtained as a function of thermo-geometric fin parameter and the thermal conductivity parameter describing the variation of the thermal conductivity
