hello, guys
Below is the equation I am concerned with:

b494d7727c7a.png


Is the above equation non-linear because of (delta P/delta x)^2 term assuming other variables are constant and don't change with pressure , P?

Ok.
What kind of method can you suggest to deal with [∂p/∂x] 2 ?

I am going to convert the above equation to ODE by method of lines in Matlab. I guess that non-linear terms require special approach.
