Abstract
In this study, highly accurate analytical methods, Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM), is applied for predicting the temperature distribution in a porous fin with temperature dependent internal heat generation. The heat transfer through porous media is simulated using passage velocity from the Darcy’s model. It has been attempted to show the capabilities and wide-range applications of the Homotopy Analysis Method in comparison with a type of numerical analysis as Boundary Value Problem (BVP) in solving this problem. The results show that the HAM is an attractive method in solving this problem.
