Abstract

Recently, an approximate solution of the time fractional chemical engineering equations by means of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been presented by Khan et al. \cite{khan2010approximate}. As a disadvantage of the HPM, to have reasonable solution at large values of $t$ we should truncate \text{HPM} series with more terms, while this task is so complicated and even takes too time to complete. In this paper, we have successively applied the predictor--corrector approach on fractional chemical systems to obtain an accurate numerical solution. The numerical results are compared with obtained results by HPM. This comparison shows that predictor--corrector approach is more accurate than the HPM. As advantages of predictor-corrector over the HPM, the method reduces the computational difficulties and is easy to implement.
