Abstract This paper seeks to utilize the residual correction method in coordination with the evolutionary monotonic iteration technique to obtain upper and lower approximate solutions of non-linear heat transfer problem of the annular hyperbolic profile fins whose thermal conductivity vary with temperature. First, the monotonicity of a non-linear differential equation is reinforced by using the monotone iterative technique. Then, the cubic spline method is applied to discretize and convert the differential equation into the mathematical programming problems. Finally, based on the residual correction concept, the complicated constraint inequality equations can be transferred into the simple iterative More >
