Comparison of solving algorithms for a mathematical model of filtration-diffusion transfer in the medium of spherical moisture-saturated microporous particles

Abstract

The article considers the use an analytical and numerical approaches for finding solutions of mathematical model of diffusion mass transfer in the medium of particles of microporous structure. The special software developed based on both approaches and these software were used for computer simulation of pressures in particles and interparticle space for spatial and temporal parameters of the filtration process, and the results were compared taking into account their accuracy and speed of production. Considered algorithms showed approximately the same accuracy in finding the pressure profiles. Analytical solution-based software has demonstrated the higher efficiency for calculating unit pressure values at given parameters, in turn, numerical techniques have been found to be convenient for building high-resolution profiles.
