Abstract

The purpose of this present paper is to validate an explicit third order Euler approximation technique for reactor design and exponential growth problems. The computation results reveal that the numerical solution obtained by explicit third order Euler method is better in comparison with analytical solution due to simple improvement carried out in the employed method. The advantage of employing explicit third order Euler method is consistent, stable, efficient, accurate, convergent order is 3, wider region of absolute stability and easy to implement with lower computational cost.
