Various phenomenological equations for the dependence of the time-to-rupture, etc., on temperature and stress have been related to a generalized equation based on chemical reaction-rate theory. In the derivation of these equations the assumption, which has been used and criticized in earlier work, that the time-to-rupture is inversely proportional to the creep rate and thus that the ductility is constant, is not needed.

ABSTRACTChemical reaction rate theory is used to model the kinetics of precipitation reactions in Al alloys, including the effects of continuous cooling and thermally generated point defects. The computational method models the processes of nucleation, growth, and coarsening within a single framework. Calculated time and temperature dependent precipitate number densities and sizes during the homogeneous precipitation of the A13Sc phase in an Al-.11 at% Sc alloy are shown to compare favorably with experimental observations.

Glyphosate (GP) is a widely used herbicide worldwide, yet accumulation of GP and its main byproduct, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in soil and water has raised concerns about its potential effects to human health. Thermal treatment processes are one option for decontaminating material containing GP and AMPA, yet the thermal decomposition chemistry of these compounds remains poorly understood. Here, we have revealed the thermal decomposition mechanism of GP and AMPA by applying computational chemistry and reaction rate theory methods. <br>

ABSTRACTAb initio molecular orbital calculations coupled to RRKM reaction rate theory have been conducted on some important reactions involved in the oxidation of silane in a high-temperature/high H2O environment. The results indicate thatH2O acts as an oxygen donor to SiH2 to form H3SiOH or SiH2O. Subsequent reactions involve the formation of (HSiOOH, H2Si(OH)2,:Si(OH)2 or SiO). In turn SiO polymerizes into planar rings, without an activation energy barrier. A list of calculated thermochemical data are also presented for a number of equilibrium species.

This study focused on the diffusion and mixing phenomena investigated by using luminol chemiluminescence (CL) to estimate the local chemical reaction rate in the T-junction microchannel. Generally, the degree of mixing in microchannel is calculated by the deviation of the obtained concentration profiles from the uniform concentration profile by using fluorescence technique. Thus, the degree of mixing is a macroscopic estimate for the whole microchannel, which is inappropriate for understanding the diffusion and mixing phenomena in the mixing layer. In this study, the luminol CL reaction is applied to visualize the local chemical reaction and to estimate the local diffusion and mixing phenomena at an interface between two liquids in microchannel. Luminol emits blue chemiluminescence when it reacts with the hydrogen peroxide at the mixing layer. Experiments were carried out on the T-junction microchannel with 200 microns in width and 50 microns in depth casted in the PDMS chip. The chemiluminescence intensity profiles clearly show the mixing layer at an interface between two liquids. The experimental results are compared with the results of numerical simulation that involves solving the mass transport equations including the chemical reaction term. By calibrating CL intensity to the chemical reaction rate estimated by the numerical simulation, the local chemical reaction profile can be quantitatively estimated from the CL intensity profile.
