| Summary: | A novel computational approach known as pseudospectral quasilinearization (SQLM) is employed to tackle the two-point boundary value problem describing the reactivity behaviour
of porous catalyst particles subject to both internal mass
concentration gradients and temperature gradients, in
endothermic or exothermic catalytic reactions. A comparison with
the numerical results generated using the inbuilt MATLAB boundary
value solver, bvp4c, for different values of the governing
physical parameters is performed and an excellent agreement is
achieved. A systematic way of improving the convergence of the
SQLM is also presented. |
