Abstract
In this paper we solve a system of second-order partial differential equations with non-standard boundary conditions. This system of equations is a mathematical model that describes distributions of the overpotential and reactant concentration in a working packed-bed electrode for an electrochemical reactor. To ensure the existence and uniqueness of the solutions for this model we choose standard instead of non-standard boundary conditions, and obtain approximate analytic solutions in the form of a series that rapidly converges using the Adomian decomposition method. The method is easily implemented using the symbol operations of scientific computational software such as MATLAB.
