Processes of the cold-flame combustion of a mixture of two hydrocarbons are studied on the base of a three-dimensional nonlinear dynamical model. Bifurcation analysis of the deterministic model reveals mono- and bistability parameter zones with equilibrium and oscillatory attractors. For this model, effects of random disturbances in the bistability parameter zone are studied. We show that random forcing causes transitions between coexisting stable equilibria and limit cycles with the formation of complex stochastic mixed-mode oscillations. Properties of these oscillatory regimes are studied by means of statistics of interspike intervals. A phenomenon of anti-coherence resonance is discussed. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Transport phenomena in complex systems (part 2)’.

The relationship of the first and second laws of thermodynamics based on their energy nature is considered. It is noted that the processes described by the second law of thermodynamics often take place hidden within the system, which makes it difficult to detect them. Nevertheless, even with ideal mixing, an increase in the internal energy of the system occurs, numerically equal to an increase in free energy. The largest contribution to the change in the value of free energy is made by the entropy of mixing, which has energy significance. The entropy of mixing can do the job, which is confirmed in particular by osmotic processes.

The Newtonian mixing rules for several binary systems have been experimentally investigated. Some systems show non-ideal mixing response and for some systems the non-ideal response is pressure-dependent, yielding an opportunity for manipulation of the pressure-viscosity behavior to advantage. The mixing of differing molecular weight “straight cuts” can produce very different pressure-viscosity response. This behavior underscores the difficulty in predicting the pressure-viscosity coefficient based upon chemical structure and ambient viscosity since the molecular weight distribution is also important, but it also provides another opportunity to control the high-pressure response by blending. The first experimental observation of double shear-thinning within a single flow curve is reported. Blending then provides the capability of adjusting not only the Newtonian viscosity but also the non-Newtonian shear-thinning response as well.
