Abstract
The Lane-Emden Boundary Value Problem as it appears in chemical applications, science, and biochemical applications are employed. Two specific models are solved by applying the Ananthaswamy-Sivasankari method (ASM). The model in first problem is a reaction–diffusion equation of a spherical catalyst and the model in second problem is the reaction–diffusion process of a spherical biocatalyst. Obtain a reliable semi-analytical expression of the effectiveness factors and the concentrations. A graph is constructed for the obtained semi-analytical solutions.The effects of several parameters like dimensionless activation energy, Thiele modulus and dimensionless heat of reaction are shown in graphical representation. Our semi-analytical solution is compared with numerical simulation by using MATLAB and finds good fit in all parameters. The new analytical method ASM is helpful to solve many non-linear problems mainly Reaction-Diffusion equation.
