Abstract
In this study, adomian decomposition method (ADM) and reduced differential transform method (RTDM) were applied to fixed bed catalytic reactor for hydrolysis of ethyl-acetate using amberlyst-15 as a catalyst. The algorithms of ADM and RTDM were introduced briefly and were examined for non-linear system of partial differential equations (PDE) which were involved in the study of fixed bed catalytic reactor. Results obtained by both methods were compared with numerical solution and showed that methods were quit promising for solving such type of non-linear system of PDE.
