AB - The convection-diffusion process in porous electrodes depends greatly upon the porous structure. A fractal model for porous catalyst in a thin-zone bed reactor is established using He’s fractal derivative, and a variational principle is also established in a fractal space, and an approximate solution is obtained. Additionally an ancient Chinese algorithm is adopted to solve an algebraic equation.
