The Attempt at a Solution
I got to this point, I also don't understand why it did not include C_2 for the variation of temp. along the fin.
I am guessing the right side is the rate of heat transfer on the tip? which equals to the rate of heat transfer at x=0 under steady state. but i failed to see how they are equivalent, I don't understand where did sqrt( hpkA)*(Tb-T_inf) came from. any help would be appreciated!
