Abstract
Porous fins with temperature-dependent internal heat generation are frequently used to improve performance in a wide range of heat transfer and porous media applications. Thermal analysis of the porous fin fractal model with temperature-dependent heat generation is generated using fractal derivatives and investigated analytically using a novel Maclaurin series method (MSM). Nonlinear temperature distribution in a porous longitudinal fin is produced by the MSM. The porous fin solution is demonstrated using the Sierpinski fractal, which is based on time-dependent heat generation. The effects of the convection parameter, porosity, internal heat production, and generation number parameter on the dimensionless temperature distribution are discussed. MSM results are graphically and tabularly compared to existing solution methods such as HPM, CM, CSCM, LWCM, and GWRM. A comparison study reveals that MSM is a very reliable, accurate, and effective addition in the field of differential equations.
