The solution for this problem is best obtained by considering scaled temperature (ie. 1-T - To, where To is the absolute temperature at T-0) variables, so that the two edges of the plate have "zero-zero" boundary conditions and the bottom of the plate is maintained at...

A flat-plate solar collector is used to heat atmospheric air flowing through a rectangular channel. The bottom surface of the channel is well insulated, while the top surface is subjected to a uniform heat flux 96,which is due to the net effect of solar radiation absorption and heat exchange between the absorber and cover plates.

Cooling fins are used to increase the area available for heat
transfer between metal walls and poorly conducting fluids such as
gases. A rectangular fin is shown in the following figure.
To design a cooling fin and calculate the fin efficiency one
must first calculate the temperature profile in the fin.
If L>>B, no heat is lost from the end or from the edges,
and the heat flux at the surface is given by:
