Solution Kinetic Models

A series of runs were made starting with a concentration of 100 occupied cells in a grid of 3025 cells. Successive increases in the occupied cell concentration were introduced in increments of 100. The concentrations of the five configurations, f0 through f4, were recorded for each occupied cell concentration. The size of the largest cluster was also recorded at each occupied cell concentration. Finally, the occupied cell concentrations at which the onset of percolation takes place and at which there is a 50% probability of percolation were recorded.

Therefore the author decided to create an artificial true mechanism, derive the kinetics from the mechanism without any simplification, and solve the resulting set of equations rigorously. This then can be used to generate artificial experimental results, which in turn can be evaluated for kinetic model building. Models, built from the artificial experiments, can then be compared with the prediction from the rigorous mathematical solution of the kinetics from the true mechanism. 

The basic problem of design was solved mathematically before any reliable kinetic model was available. As mentioned at start, the existence of solutions—that is, the integration method for reactor performance calculation—gave the first motivation to generate better experimental kinetic results and the models derived from them. 

Here a four-step mechanism is described on the framework of methanol synthesis without any claim to represent the real methanol mechanism. The aim here was to create a mechanism, and the kinetics derived from it, that has an exact mathematical solution. This was needed to perform kinetic studies with the true, or exact solution and compare the results with various kinetic model predictions developed by statistical or other mehods. The final aim was to find out how good or approximate our modeling skill was. 

The kinetic models are the same until the final stage of the solution of the reactor balance equations, so the description of the mathematics is combined until that point of departure. The models provide for the continuous or intermittent addition of monomer to the reactor as a liquid at the reactor temperature. 

The kinetic model reaction rate is computed per equation (1) or equation (2) using the computed average solution temperature (T ) and the estimated conversion(s). 

The experimental reaction rate computations based on equation (4) are primarily functions of the computed average solution temperature (T ). The kinetic model rate computations based on equation (1) or (2) are primarily functions of both "T " as well as the estimated conversion(s). Earlier we explained why we expected decreasing accuracies of estimating both the conversions and the average solution temperature in Tests 1, 2 and 3 respectively. 

Solutions were obtained, either analytically or numerically, on a computer. The quenched-reaction, kinetic model considered that the nucleation sequence of reactions evolves to some time (the quenching time) and then promptly halts. Both kinetic models yield a result having the same general form as the statistical model, namely,...

The purpose of this paper is to propose solutions to the GPC interpretation problems fitting the needs of high conversion polymerization kinetic modelling. 

Eq. (122) represents a set of algebraic constraints for the vector of species concentrations expressing the fact that the fast reactions are in equilibrium. The introduction of constraints reduces the number of degrees of freedom of the problem, which now exclusively lie in the subspace of slow reactions. In such a way the fast degrees of freedom have been eliminated, and the problem is now much better suited for numerical solution methods. It has been shown that, depending on the specific problem to be solved, the use of simplified kinetic models allows one to reduce the computational time by two to three orders of magnitude [161],...

Burns and Curtiss (1972) and Burns et al. (1984) have used the Facsimile program developed at AERE, Harwell to obtain a numerical solution of simultaneous partial differential equations of diffusion kinetics (see Eq. 7.1). In this procedure, the changes in the number of reactant species in concentric shells (spherical or cylindrical) by diffusion and reaction are calculated by a march of steps method. A very similar procedure has been adopted by Pimblott and La Verne (1990 La Verne and Pimblott, 1991). Later, Pimblott et al. (1996) analyzed carefully the relationship between the electron scavenging yield and the time dependence of eh yield through the Laplace transform, an idea first suggested by Balkas et al. (1970). These authors corrected for the artifactual effects of the experiments on eh decay and took into account the more recent data of Chernovitz and Jonah (1988). Their analysis raises the yield of eh at 100 ps to 4.8, in conformity with the value of Sumiyoshi et al. (1985). They also conclude that the time dependence of the eh yield and the yield of electron scavenging conform to each other through Laplace transform, but that neither is predicted correctly by the diffusion-kinetic model of water radiolysis.
