In this article, approximate analytical (series) solutions for the temperature distribution in a longitudinal rectangular and convex parabolic fins with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient are derived. The transient heat conduction problem is solved for the first time using the two-dimensional differential transform method (2D DTM). The effects of some physical parameters such as the thermo-geometric parameter, exponent and thermal conductivity gradient on temperature distribution are studied. Furthermore, we study the temperature profile at the fin tip.
