Solution and Parameter Identification of a Fixed-Bed Reactor Model for Catalytic CO<sub>2</sub> Methanation Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks

In this study, we develop physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to solve an isothermal fixed-bed (IFB) model for catalytic CO<sub>2</sub> methanation. The PINN includes a feed-forward artificial neural network (FF-ANN) and physics-informed constraints, such as governing equations, bou...
