Abstract

Mathematical models for an adiabatic tubular chemical reactor which forms an irreversible exothermic reaction are investigated by an efficient numerical technique, Fibonacci Collocation method in this study. The reaction's steady-state temperature is calculated for several values of three parameters, namely, Peclet and Damkohler numbers and the dimensionless adiabatic temperature increment. When the generated outcomes are compared with the other numerical approaches, it has been sighted that the presented method produces reliable results for this type of problems.

Keywords
