Heat Transfer According to Fourier's Law

LaTeX Go Heat Flow Through a Body = -(Thermal Conductivity of Fin*Surface Area of Heat Flow*Temperature Difference/Thickness of The Body)

Newton's Law of Cooling

LaTeX Go Heat Flux = Heat Transfer Coefficient*(Surface Temperature-Temperature of Characteristic Fluid)

Heat Flux

LaTeX Go Heat Flux = Thermal Conductivity of Fin*Temperature of Conductor/Length of Conductor

Heat Transfer

LaTeX Go Heat Flow Through a Body = Thermal Potential Difference/Thermal Resistance
