The equivalent thermal circuit for a plane wall
Equivalent thermal circuit analysis can also be used for complex systems
such as composite walls
Often, it is convenient to define an overall heat transfer coefficient, U:

3.1.4 Contact Resistance
Realistically, the heat flux at the interface of two solid surfaces is continuous
but the temperature is not. Temperature varies at the interface of two
surfaces because of imperfect contact between the solids.

3.6 Heat Transfer from Extended Surfaces
Possibilities:
- increase heat transfer coefficient
- increase surface temperature
- decrease fluid temperature
- increase surface area
The most common way to enhance heat transfer is by increasing the surface
area for convection via an extension from a solid medium: fins

Regardless of the tip boundary condition, the solution will provide the
temperature distribution through the fin, /b.
Due to the decreasing temperature through the fin, the conduction heat
