Modelling and Simulation of Heat and Mass Transfer,via Symbolic Computation

This basically tutorial/case study paper illustrates the application of symbolic computation for two classical cases of chemical engineering, namely the modelling and simulation of a heat transfer process intensified by fin-covered surface, and a convective mass transport with first order irreversible chemical reaction. It has been shown that computer algebra provides a comfortable and elegant way to solve such technical problems in fully analytical form, with standard mathematical knowledge.
