Different collocation methods are compared in their ability to predict the effectiveness factor for the general case of a catalyst particle with both internal and external resistance to mass and heat transfer. The accuracy of the methods in determining the bifurcation points which separate regions o

✦ Synopsis
The use of high-order orthogonal collocation methods leads to accurate prediction of the critical Lewis number characterizing the transient instability of the steady states of a catalyst particle with arbitrary external resistance. When combined with a suitable algorithm for the determination of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix, the method becomes quite efficient. First-order approximations such as lumoine, collocation or a combination of both, as well as the Paterson-Cresswell tech-

Obviously this is a rough approximation, Etiicularly since the time intervals are rather large for purposes of timeaveraging and the reaction rate itself changes rapidly with time. However, in view of the difficulties in the experimental procedure and limitations of accuracy attainable in it, a more
