[ 1 ] - A spline collocation method for integrating a class of chemical reactor equations

. In this paper, we develop a quadratic spline collocation method for integrating the nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) of a plug flow reactor model. The method is proposed in order to be used for the operation of control design and/or numerical simulations. We first present the Crank-Nicolson method to temporally discretize the state variable. Then, we develop and analyze the pro...
