Technical report: the derivation and conversion of dimensional to nondimensional of mass balance equation and discretization using the explicit finite difference method / Intan Diyana Munir, Nur Nadzirah Sulaiman and Yang Nur Amalina Mohd Saad

In this research, we focus on deriving a mathematical model of mass transfer equation pro­posed by Khalloufi et al. (2010) to a partial differential equations. Then the partial differential equations are converted to a nondimensional partial differential equations by substituting each nondimensionalized parameter into the derived partial differential equations. The nondimen­sional partial differential equations are discretized using the explicit finite difference method. The aim of our research is to derive the mathematical model and convert the derived model into a nondimensional equation then discretize it using the explicit finite difference method.
