In this paper, the problem of viscous heating in plane Couette flow is considered by the homotopy perturbation method. The non-linear terms are expanded to Taylor series of the homotopy parameter. The obtained solutions are shown graphically and are compared with the exact solutions. The obtained results illustrate the efficiency and convenience of the method.

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.

The approximate and/or exact solutions of the generalized Klein-Gordon- and sine-Gordon-type equations are obtained. We introduce a new type of initial conditions to extend the class of solvable problems
