This study examines the thermal performance of diverse profiles of spine fins with variable thermal conductivity. A hybrid nanofluid comprising Cu, and MoS4 with water as the base fluid, is modeled mathematically. Both the cylindrical and concave parabolic profiles are taken into account. The comparative outcomes are inferred from numerical and semi-analytical methods. The non-dimensional temperature profiles are analyzed graphically while considering the fin tip to be insulated, and the effects of various thermal parameters are also investigated. We have observed that the heat transfer rate shows an opposite trend toward convective-conduction and porosity parameter. The study also revealed that the concave parabolic profile emits more heat in comparison with the cylindrical profile.
