AB - The thermal analysis of the annular fin is performed by applying the differential transformation method. The thermal conductivity of the annular fin has been considered as a function of temperature. The effects of non-dimensional parameters, namely thermal conductivity and thermo-geometric fin parameters on the fin efficiency and temperature distribution are determined. Obtained results from the differential transformation method are also compared with the exact analytical results and the results of the finite difference method in the constant thermal conductivity condition. It has been concluded that the differential transformation method provides accurate results in the solution of non-linear problems.
