In this paper, we have generalized the fractional cubic isothermal auto-catalytic chemical system (FCIACS) with Liouville-Caputo, Caputo-Fabrizio-Caputo, and Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo fractional time derivatives, respectively. We apply the Homotopy Analysis Transform Method (HATM) to compute the approximate solutions of FCIACS using these fractional derivatives. We study the convergence analysis of HATM by computing the residual error function. Also, we find the optimal values of h so we assure the convergence of the approximate solutions. Finally we show the behavior of the approximate solutions graphically. The results obtained are very effectiveness and accuracy.

Bounds On The Solution

The initiation of travelling reaction-diffusion waves in the chemical system governed by the quadratic autocatalytic or branching reaction A + B → 2B (rate k 1 ab) coupled with the decay or termination step B + B → C (rate k 4 b 2 ) is discussed. The system is described by the non-dimensional parameter K - k 4 / k 1 and parameters representing the local initial input of B. It is shown that a travelling wave of permanent form will develop for all K (and no matter how small the initial input of B). Bounds on the solution of the initial-value problem are obtained as well as numerical integrations of the governing equations. The structure of the permanent form travelling waves that arise is discussed in some detail, as well as the asymptotic limits K → 0 and K → ∞. The behaviour of the solution for this problem is compared with solutions found previously for other related simple autocatalytic systems with autocatalyst decay.

Cubic Autocatalysis

Autocatalytic chemical reactions can support isothermal travelling waves of constant speed and form. This paper extends previous studies to cubic autocatalysis and to mixed systems where quadratic and cubic autocatalyses occur concurrently. A + B → 2B, rate = k q ab , (1) A + 2B → 3B, rate = k c ab 2 . (2) For pure cubic autocatalysis the wave has, at large times, a constant asymptotic speed v 0 (where v 0 = 1/√2 in the appropriate dimensionless units). This result is confirmed by numerical investigation of the initial-value problem. Perturbations to this stable wave-speed decay at long times as t -3/2 e -1/8 t . The mixed system is governed by a non-dimensional parameter μ = k q / k c a 0 which measures the relative rates of transformation by quadratic and cubic modes. In the mixed case ( μ ≠ 0) the reaction-diffusion wave has a form appropriate to a purely cubic autocatalysis so long as μ lies between ½ and 0. When μ exceeds ½, the reaction wave loses its symmetrical form, and all its properties steadily approach those of quadratic autocatalysis. The value μ = ½ is the value at which rates of conversion by the two paths are equal.
