Performances of some numerical techniques used for simulation of fixed bed catalytic reactors

Sensitivity analysis of tubular packed‐bed reactor by pseudohomogeneous 2–D model

“…Previous analysis dedicated to the numerical solution of the two-dimensional model (Finlayson, 1972;Mihail and Iordache, 1976) indicate as the most performant method the reduction of the partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations by discretizing the radial derivatives with the orthogonal collocation method and the integration of the resultant ODE system with an adequate method. The same way is followed in this article.…”
