Heterogeneous packed -bed reactor

Simultaneous solution of the so-called differential-algebraic equation (DAE) set requires coupling of the ODE and algebraic equation solvers, the latter which are not discussed here, but can be found in detail elsewhere [ 1 ]. Description of a DAE set and its solution in the context of a one-dimensional (ID) heterogeneous packed-bed reactor model for autothermal conversion of methane to hydrogen is available in the literature [7]. It is also worth noting that packages such as DASSL and DAEPACK are also available for the solution of coupled DAE sets.
