Abstract

In this article we consider heat transfer models prescribed by reaction-diffusion equations. The diffusivity term and internal heat generator are given by the power law. The differential transform method (DTM) is utilized to construct the approximate analytical solutions. These solutions are generated using one- and two-dimensional DTM for the steady state and the transient problem, respectively. The effects of parameters appearing in the our model are presented and explained.
