摘要：The main objective of the present numerical study is to investigate the transient heat transfer in one kind of all-purpose longitudinal fin with the triangular profile. The lateral surface of the concerned fin and the tip of it are subjected to general situations included heat flux at the base and insulation on the tip. For this study developed a one dimensional in house code written by Fortran 90 programming language by using finite difference method with an implicit scheme in unsteady state condition. Generally, the result of this study in time variation state after 700 seconds is steady. The results also show the fin efficiency by increasing the time of study decreases due to a reduction in the total heat transfer which is happened in the fin. The grid independence study shows that for the number of nodes greater than 20 the result will not be changed and same as before. Finally, the result of Fortran code verified by commercial CFD code which relies on finite difference method and it was shown have a consistent agreement.
