Abstract

In this research article, an attempt has been made to solve the linear/nonlinear and steady/unsteady heat transfer equations using the Homotopy and Perturbation method (HPM). Moreover, the implementation of HPM has been done by using SymPy, a library in python, to solve problems symbolically. Total three problems were dealt viz. steady-state conduction with heat generation, lumped capacitance analysis with a variable specific heat of the material, and heat transfer in uniform rectangular fin with radiation from the surface. In all the cases, the HPM has given excellent results compared to the analytical and numerical. Finally, the execution of SymPy has been explained, and a detailed procedure to implement HPM through python has been presented for all three cases.
