Non-linear reaction

The cases of non-competitive inhibition and even more complex non-linear reaction kinetics will not be discussed further here. 

In a transported PDF simulation, the chemical source term, (6.249), is integrated over and over again with each new set of initial conditions. For fixed inlet flow conditions, it is often the case that, for most of the time, the initial conditions that occur in a particular simulation occupy only a small sub-volume of composition space. This is especially true with fast chemical kinetics, where many of the reactions attain a quasi-steady state within the small time step At. Since solving the stiff ODE system is computationally expensive, this observation suggests that it would be more efficient first to solve the chemical source term for a set of representative initial conditions in composition space,156 and then to store the results in a pre-computed chemical lookup table. This operation can be described mathematically by a non-linear reaction map ... 

Even though the governing phenomena of coupled reaction and mass transfer in porous media are principally known since the days of Thiele (1) and Frank-Kamenetskii (2), they are still not frequently used in the modeling of complex organic systems, involving sequences of parallel and consecutive reactions. Simple ad hoc methods, such as evaluation of Thiele modulus and Biot number for first-order reactions are not sufficient for such a network comprising slow and rapid steps with non-linear reaction kinetics. 

Figure 5.21 Bifurcation far from equilibrium, (a) Primary bifurcation is the distance from equilibrium, at which the thermodynamic branching of minimal entropy production becomes unstable. The bifurcation point or critical point corresponds to the concentration (b) Complete diagram of bifurcations. As the non-linear reaction moves away from equilibrium, the number of possible states increases enormously. (Adapted, with permission, from Coveney and Highfield, 1990).

Balakotaiah and Chakraborty introduce a four-mode hyperbolic model but with non-linear reactions, in three-dimensional geometry and with much bigger Damkohler number (Balakotaiah, 2004 Chakraborty and Balakotaiah, 2005). The effective model cannot be directly compared with our system (12)-(13). Nevertheless, in Section 3.1 we derive a four-mode hyperbolic model, analogous to the models from Balakotaiah (2004) and Chakraborty and Balakotaiah (2005). We show that it is formally equivalent to our model at the order This shows the relationship between the upscaled models... 

In this chapter, we will try to answer the next obvious question can we find an explicit reaction rate equation for the general non-linear reaction mechanism, at least for its thermodynamic branch, which goes through the equilibrium. Applying the kinetic polynomial concept, we introduce the new explicit form of reaction rate equation in terms of hypergeometric series. 

For typical one-route linear mechanisms all the Horiuti numbers can be selected to be equal to 1. This is not necessarily true for non-linear reaction mechanism, e.g. for SO2 oxidation mechanism... 

RIGOROUS ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX KINETIC MODELS NON-LINEAR REACTION MECHANISMS... 

In the spirit of Moliere s bourgeois gentilhomme, chemical kineticists have been studying non-linear reactions almost all of their lives, often without realizing it. The only systems which are not non-linear are the linear ones. In the present context, that means only first-order processes escape the non-linear net, and even these get caught if there is the slightest departure from isothermal operation.

The application of the quasi-steady-state approximation is a well established technique introduced at the start of this century. The importance of the early applications led to the analytical solution of non-linear reaction systems which, without the aid of computer technology, could not otherwise be solved at that time [149-154]. Since the advent of computers and advanced software for the solution of stiff systems of equations there have been suggestions that the QSSA is an obsolete technique. Even if such an argument was valid, an understanding of the basis and applicability of the QSSA would still be needed, as emphasized by Come [155] since the QSSA has been used to elucidate most reaction mechanisms and to... 

The modeling in section 3.1 will be applied to non-linear and linear reactions. In section 3.2-1, all the stoichiometric coefficients of the species equal unity, i.e. aj = 1. In section 3.2-2 part of the stoichiometric coefficients are different from unity, aj 1. In section 3.2-3 linear reactions are dealt with whereas in section 3.2-4, linear-non linear reactions with aj 1 are demonstrated in detail by case 3.13-6. 

Copper containing A-type zeolites which contained copper with considerably high concentrations were synthesized through crystallization. It was confirmed that Cu" " ions in the crystals could be stably maintained compared with those in the copper-loaded samples prepared by an ion-exchanged method. NO decomposition activity on the Cu-A catalyst corresponded to the capacity of redox response. Even under an excess oxygen condition the NO decomposition progressed smoothly at around 300 -350°C by the addition of a very small concentration of n-Cg - n-C-jg saturated hydrocarbons. Especially cetane (n-C-ig) exhibited the marked effect, and NO was decomposed completely at that temperature range. To explain these unusual non-linear reaction phenomena. Microscopic Sequential Reaction mechanism was proposed and the necessary conditions to realize this mechanism were discussed. 

Rate Theory Pre-gel and Post-gel Loops. In order to account for the effects of pre-gel and post-gel intramolecular reaction on modulus, it is necessary to use a theory which describes the continuous growth of intramolecular reaction throughout an irreversible polymerisation. The rate theory(21-24) is being further developed to this end. The theory already allows prediction of Nf and Oq given only the initial dilution of reactive groups, and reactant molar mass, chain structure and functionality, and has been applied to the interpretation of experimental values of N. in linear(21) and non-linear reaction systems(22) and to the correlation of experimental values of 00(22.2377 In addition, correlations between Op and M /MpO have been achieved for an RAa self-polymerisation( ) and a resume of the results obtained are presented here. 

Fig. 3 The non-linear reaction mechanism [5W]cber in a pseudo-network representation, emphasizing that the inputs can be independently varied or perturbed in order to induce transients in the individual reaction rates and the concentration of intermediates. Such issues assist in verifying the underlying structure and characteristic of the system...

In this chapter we continue the analysis of heat engines driven by chemical reactions by investigating the effects of periodic changes of some external constraints on the efficiency of the engine and on the dissipation. The effects of such periodic changes on the efficiency and dissipation of non-linear reactions, including oscillatory reactions, will be taken up in the following chapters. 

Let us formulate the dissipation for a system with two internal variable X,Y) coupled to an input bath A and an output bath B. The internal reactant X is converted to the variable Y by an arbitrary non-linear reaction mechanism... 

The reaction time scales depend on the values of the kinetic and equilibrium constants in the rate equations and, hence, on the local temperature values. For non-linear reaction kinetics, the reaction time scales also depend on the local concentrations. For complex reaction rate expressions, J Q and the reaction time scales have to be numerically evaluated. The reaction time scales are also affected by the local temperature values.
