Variables Used
Heat Flux - (Measured in Watt per Square Meter) - Heat Flux is the heat transfer rate per unit area normal to the direction of heat flow. It is denoted by the letter "q".
Thermal Conductivity of Fin - (Measured in Watt per Meter per K) - Thermal Conductivity of Fin is rate of heat passes through Fin, expressed as amount of heat flows per unit time through a unit area with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit distance.
Wall Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Wall Thickness is simply the width of the wall that we are taking under consideration.
Temperature of Wall 2 - (Measured in Kelvin) - The Temperature of Wall 2 is defined as the heat maintained by wall 2 in a system of 2 walls.
Temperature of Wall 1 - (Measured in Kelvin) - The Temperature of Wall 1 is the degree or intensity of heat present in Wall1.

What is heat flux?

Heat flux or the thermal flux, sometimes also referred to as heat flux density, is the rate of heat energy that passes through a surface. Depending on the exact definition of heat flux, its unit can be expressed as either W/m2 or W.It is defined as HαΔT, where H is the heat transfer coefficient in W/m2 K, A is the active surface area in m2, ΔT is the temperature difference
