S. Sevukaperumal, A. Eswari, L. Rajendran . Analytical Expression Pertaining to Concentration of Substrate and Effectiveness Factor for Immobilized Enzymes with Reversible Michaelis Menten Kinetics. International Journal of Computer Applications. 33, 3 ( November 2011), 46-53. DOI=10.5120/4004-5671
The mathematical model of immobilized enzyme system in porous spherical particle is presented. The model is based on non-stationary diffusion equation containing a nonlinear term related to Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the enzymatic reaction. A general and closed form of an analytical expression pertaining to the substrate concentration profile and effectiveness factor are reported for all possible values of dimensionless modules and . Moreover, herein we have employed “Homotopy Perturbation Method” (HPM) to solve the non-linear reaction/diffusion equation in immobilized enzymes system. These analytical results were found to be in good agreement with simulation result.
