Review text

Summary: This paper presents a least-squares finite element approach for the solution of reaction-diffusion pellet problem for slab geometry by considering some special types of reactions which are applicable for chemical transformation of natural gas components. The nonlinear terms are treated with Newton's linearisation technique. A detailed comparison with other weighted residual methods such as collocation, sub-domain and Galerkin methods are also examined. The issues related to chemical reactor problems and their error analysis is discussed both theoretically and numerically. The least-squares method suffers convergency effect by using the Picard's method instead of Newton's iteration method as obtained by Galerkin and orthogonal collocation methods.
