Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to apply the Adomian decomposition method to acquire the approximate analytical solutions for a chemical tubular reactor model composed of a system of strongly nonlinear second-order partial differential equations with standard boundary conditions. By properly assigning the dimensionless parameters in the model, the objective description of the solutions of temperature and process component concentration distributions can be obtained.

Keywords: Adomian decomposition method ; Approximate analytical solutions ; Strongly nonlinear second-order partial differential equations ; Standard boundary conditions
