Optimal design of a bar with an attached mass for maximizing the heat transfer

We maximize, with respect to the cross sectional area, the rate of heat transfer through a bar of given mass. The bar serves as an extended surface to enhance the heat transfer surface of a larger heated known mass to which the bar is attached. In this paper we neglect heat transfer from the side...
