Heat Dissipation from Infinitely Long Fin Formula Elements

Variables
Fin Heat Transfer Rate
Fin Heat Transfer Rate is that extend from an object to increase the rate of heat transfer to or from the environment by increasing convection.
Symbol: Qfin
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Perimeter of Fin
The perimeter of fin is the total distance around the edge of the figure.
Symbol: Pfin
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
