Solution of temperature distribution in a radiating fin using homotopy perturbation method (Q1036478)

Summary: Radiating extended surfaces are widely used to enhance heat transfer between the primary surface and the environment. The present paper applies the homotopy perturbation to obtain analytic approximation of distribution of temperature in heat fin radiating, which is compared with the results obtained by the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Comparison of the results obtained by the method reveals that the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is more effective and easy to use.
