The homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing on the problem. It has been attempted to show the capabilities and wide-range applications of the homotopy perturbation method in comparison with the previous ones in solving heat transfer problems. The obtained solutions, in comparison with the exact solutions admit a remarkable accuracy. A clear conclusion can be drawn from the numerical results that the HPM provides highly accurate numerical solutions for nonlinear differential equations.

Homotopy perturbation method is combined with Laplace transformation to obtain approximate analytical solutions of non-linear differential equations. An example is given to elucidate the solution process and confirm reliability of the method. The result indicates superiority of the method over the conventional homotopy perturbation method due its flexibility in choosing its initial approximation.
