We study a one dimensional non-linear model of multi-layered human skin exposed to microwave heating during cancer therapy. The model is analyzed using homotopy perturbation method and the fact that there are variations in specific heat, thermal conductivity and blood perfusion from one individual to another were considered. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of variable blood perfusion, microwave heating and thermal conductivity on the temperature field during microwave hyperthermia. By varying the parameters, we were able to determine maximum rise of temperature as an individual undergoes cancer therapy. The results were presented in graphs and it was discovered that the temperature of the tumor increases with increase in the microwave heating index while the blood perfusion remain constant.

AbstractIn this paper, homotopy perturbation sumudu transform method (HPSTM) is proposed to solve fractional attractor one-dimensional Keller-Segel equations. The HPSTM is a combined form of homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and sumudu transform using He’s polynomials. The result shows that the HPSTM is very efficient and simple technique for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. Test examples are considered to illustrate the present scheme.

In this paper, homotopy perturbation method has been used to evaluate the temperature distribution of annular fin with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and to determine the temperature distribution within the fin. This method is useful and practical for solving the nonlinear heat transfer equation, which is associated with variable thermal conductivity condition. The homotopy perturbation method provides an approximate analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series. The annular fin heat transfer rate with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity has been obtained as a function of thermo-geometric fin parameter and the thermal conductivity parameter describing the variation of the thermal conductivity

Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to investigate the effects of temperature dependent thermal conductivity and internal heat generation on the dimensionless temperature distribution and heat transfer from solids of arbitrary shapes (rectangular, cylindrical and spherical). Dirichlet and Robin boundary conditions are applied at the outer boundary of the solids.

A recent mathematical technique of homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving nonlinear differential equations has been applied in this paper for the analysis of steady-state heat transfer in an annular fin with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and with the variation of thermogeometric fin parameters. Excellent benchmark agreement indicates that this method is a very simple but powerful technique and practical for solving nonlinear heat transfer equations and does not require large memory space that arises out of discretization of equations in numerical computations, particularly for multidimensional problems. Three conditions of heat transfer, namely, convection, radiation, and combined convection and radiation, are considered. Dimensionless parameters pertinent to design optimization are identified and their effects on fin heat transfer and efficiency are studied. Results indicate that the heat dissipation under combined mode from the fin surface is a convection-dominant phenomenon. However, it is also found that, at relatively high base temperature, radiation heat transfer becomes comparable to pure convection. It is worth noting that, for pure radiation condition, the dimensionless parameter of aspect ratio (AR) of a fin is a more desirable controlling parameter compared to other parameters in augmenting heat transfer rate without much compromise on fin efficiency.

The aim of this paper is to solve one-dimensional wave equations that combine classical and integral boundary conditions using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The studied equations are changed into direct problems easy to be handled by the homotopy perturbation method. Several examples are given and the results are compared with exact solutions, revealing effectiveness and simplicity of the method.
