    Thin metallic fins are often attached to cylindrical pipes to help remove heat from the pipe quickly.

    Such
    a fin has an inner radius R1 where it contacts the pipe and where the temperature may be constant at
    Tw. For such a fin, the flow of heat through the metal can be modelled by the equation (4)
    2
    2 d y dy 2
    x 2
    + x −x y=0
    dx dx

    Which is a form of the modified Bessel equation

    2 d y dy 2
    x 2
    + x −(x ¿ ¿ 2+ p ) y=0 ¿
    dx dx

    in which y is dimensionless temperature and x is a dimensionless radial distance. This form of the Bessel
    equation has the following general solutions.

    When p is not an integer or zero,

    y= AI p ( x ) + B I −p ( x)

    When p is not an integer k or zero,

    y= AI k ( x ) + B K k (x)

    Where the modified Bessel functions are defined as follows:


    2 n+ p

    ∞ ( x)

    I p ( x )=∑
    n=0 n ! τ (n+ p+1)
