The system is based on non-stationary diffusion equations with a nonlinear factor related to the Michaelis–Menten kinetics of the enzymatic reaction. By solving the nonlinear equations using the AGM technique, simple analytical expressions of concentration substrate, product, and amperometric current response are derived. Further, biosensor sensitivity, resistance, and gain are obtained from the current. MATLAB programming was used to carry out the digital simulation. The analytical results are validated with the numerical results. The effect of substrate concentration, maximum enzymatic rate, and membrane thickness on biosensor response was evaluated.

The new approach to homotopy perturbation method is applied to solve the nonlinear equations. A simple analytical expression for concentrations of hydroxylamine-O-sulfonique acid (HOSA), piperidine (PP), N-aminopiperidine (NAPP), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and diazene (N2H2) along with NAPP yield is obtained and is compared with numerical result. Satisfactory agreement is obtained in the comparison of approximate analytical solution and numerical simulation. The obtained analytical result of NAPP yield is compared with the experimental results. The influence of reagents ratio p and rate constants ratio r on yield has been discussed.

The model’s kinetic mechanism is expressed in terms of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with common initial and boundary conditions in a finite planar, cylindrical, and spherical geometry. A Taylor series approach is used to derive general approximate analytical expressions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate molar concentrations inside the particle and reactor phase for various values of rate constants, diffusion, and kinetic parameters. The effect of shape factor for the planar, cylindrical, and spherical geometry of dispersed particles was examined for the first time. Activation energy and rate constant at the reference temperature of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate are also obtained from the rate equations. A direct comparison with numerical simulations confirms the accuracy of the derived analytical results. Background: A mathematical model for the combustion of ethanol and ethyl acetate mixtures using Mn9Cu1 (mixture of manganese and copper with a weight ratio of 9:1) catalyst is discussed. The model’s kinetic mechanism is expressed in terms of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with common initial and boundary conditions in a finite planar, cylindrical, and spherical geometry. Objective: Derive general approximate analytical expressions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate molar concentrations inside the particle and reactor phase for various parameter values. Method: We employ the simple and reliable Taylor series method. Results: semi-analytic expressions of the concentration and bulk concentration of ethanol, ethyl acetate, and acetaldehyde. Conclusion: Approximate analytical expressions of the concentrations of ethanol, acetaldehyde and ethyl acetate were derived for arbitrary catalyst particle (planar, cylindrical and spherical) by using a simple, reliable, and robust method. In addition, the concentration of the species in reactor phase was also reported. The effects of the kinetic parameters, which are influenced by adsorption equilibrium constant, effective diffusivity, activation energy, on concentration, were discussed.
