Application of Higher-order Discretization to Parametric Dependence of Partial Differential Equations Describing Tubular Flow Reactors
The higher-order discretization for determining the parametric dependence in partial differential equations of diffusion-convection-reaction type is described. For approximation of space differential operators, the Stormer-Numerov formula with the O(h4) accuracy is used. This method turns out to be useful for investigating the parametric dependence in parabolic diffusion-convection equations representing the behavior of tubular flow reactors.
