12 - 12/09/2015 Department of Chemical Engineering The two expressions are coupled ordinary differential equations. We can only solve them simultaneously using an ODE solver such as Polymath. For the special case of isothermal operation and epsilon = 0, we can obtain an analytical solution. Polymath will combine the mole balance, rate law and stoichiometry. and or Pressure Drop in Packed Bed Reactors 12
