“…a combination of two or more methods to investigate the thermal behaviour of fin under different operating conditions. Example of these methods include: Runge-Kutta [4][5][6], Galerkin's method of weighted residual [7,8], least squares method [9], and various collocation methods, including Haar wavelet [10,11], spectral [12], Chebychev [13][14][15], spectral element [16], Legendre [17], Adomian decomposition method [18,19], differential transform method [20][21][22], variational iteration method [23], homotopy analysis method [24], and hybrid methods [25][26][27]. Furthermore, in the quest to enhance the performance of fins, especially porous fins, different authors are investigating various thermal characteristics of porous fin including material, geometry, orientation, and composition are investigated to achieve heat transfer enhancement and augmentation.…”
