Reaction and Kinetic Studies of Immobilized Enzyme Systems: Part-I Without External Mass Transfer Resistance

In this paper, the nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation is solved analytically for estimating the substrate concentration and effectiveness factor without external mass transfer resistance concerning various geometrical shapes such as planar, cylindrical and spherical forms of pellets used for immobilized enzyme reactions. Taylor’s series method is applied to approximate the dimensionless substrate concentration and its overall effectiveness factor on immobilized enzyme reactions. The analytical solution obtained by TSM and the previous analytical results obtained using He’s Variational iteration method and the Modified Adomian Decomposition method on the same model are compared with the numerical results (MATLAB software).
