AB - An analytic (series) solution is developed to describe the thermal  performance of a porous radial fin with natural convection in the fluid  saturating the fin and radiation heat loss from the top and bottom surfaces  of the fin. The HAM results for the temperature distribution and base heat  flux are compared with the direct numerical results and found to be very  accurate.
