SUMMARY
In this study, we deal with the numerical solution of the mathematical model for an adiabatic tubular chemical reactor which processes an irreversible exothermic chemical reaction. For steady state solutions, the model can be reduced to the following nonlinear ordinary differential equation [1]:(1)where lambda, mu and beta are Péclet number, Damköhler number and adiabatic temperature rise, respectively.Boundary conditions of Eq. (1) are(2)Differential transform method [2] is used to solve the problem (1)-(2) for some values of the considered parameters. Residual error computation is adopted to confirm the accuracy of the results. In addition, the obtained results are compared with those obtained by other existing numerical approach [3].
