primary result of this work is simple approximate calcu-
lations of concentrations and current for all values of
dimensionless parameters 1
,
and L
. The HPM
is an extremely simple method and it is also a promising
method to solve other non-linear equations. This method
can be easily extended to find the solution of all other
non-linear equations.
