scholarly journals The structure of the reaction zone in a flame

The structure of one-dimensional flames is shown to be completely determined by constants such as those of heat conductivity, of diffusion, and of the homogeneous reaction rates. The mathematical problem in the most general case is intractable, but three simple cases are solved fully by a mathematical method of successive approximations. The three cases are those in which diffusion is neglected compared with heat conductivity and in which reaction velocities of the following types are considered: unimolecular, bimolecular, and the quasibimolecular form of a unimolecular reaction at low pressures. The method of mathematical approximation is shown to involve errors of the order of only 10 % in some actual cases, an error which is negligible compared with other uncertainties of the problem. In these simple cases it is possible to solve all details of the structure such as the variation of composition and temperature through the flame.

The integral-differential equation of the cascade process for ions was solved using the Laplace transform and the method of successive approximations, taking into account the energy loss during the formation of primary-knocked-on atoms (PKA) in a one-dimensional model of an elementary atom. It is shown that the solution includes a cascade-probability function (CPF) for these particles. The main properties of CPF are considered and its graphical dependencies on the depth of registration are presented. It is shown that with the specific ionization loss coefficient k = 0, the FQM turns into the simplest cascade-probability function. When λ0→ 0, λ0→∞ and n→∞, the KV-function is equal to 0. The sum of the probabilities for all possible collisions from 0 to ∞ is 1. As the detection depth h increases, for all values of n, the CRF increases, reaches a maximum and then decreases . With increasing n, the curves shift to the right.

The paper proposes the numerical method of solution the problems of calculation the stress state in thick-walled cylinders and spheres from physically nonlinear inhomogeneous material. The urgency of solved problem due to the change of mechanical properties of materials under the influence of different physical fields (temperature, humidity, radiation, etc.). The deformation diagram describes the three-parameter formula. The numerical method used the method of successive approximations. The results of numerical calculation are compared with the test analytical solutions obtaining the authors with some restrictions on diagram parameters. The obtained results can be considered quite satisfactory.

An investigation of electrolyte-assisted hydrogen storage reactions in complex aluminum hydrides (LiAlH4 and NaAlH4) reveals significantly reduced reaction times for hydrogen desorption and uptake in the presence of an electrolyte. LiAlH4 evolves ~7.8 wt% H2 over ~3 h in the presence of a Li-KBH4 eutectic at 130 °C compared to ~25 h for the same material without the electrolyte. Similarly, NaAlH4 exhibits 4.8 wt% H2 evolution over ~4 h in the presence of a diglyme electrolyte at 150 °C compared to 4.4 wt% in ~15 h for the same material without the electrolyte. These reduced reaction times are composed of two effects, an increase in reaction rates and a change in the reaction kinetics. While typical solid state dehydrogenation reactions exhibit kinetics with rates that continuously decrease with the extent of reaction, we find that the addition of an electrolyte results in rates that are relatively constant over the full desorption window. Fitting the kinetics to an Avrami-Erofe’ev model supports these observations. The desorption rate coefficients increase in the presence of an electrolyte, suggesting an increase in the velocities of the reactant-product interfaces. In addition, including an electrolyte increases the growth parameters, primarily for the second desorption steps, resulting in the observed relatively constant reaction rates. Similar effects occur upon hydrogen uptake in NaH/Al where the presence of an electrolyte enables hydrogenation under more practical low temperature (75 °C) and pressure (50 bar H2) conditions.

A sphere executes small-amplitude linear and torsional oscillations in a fluid at rest. The equations of motion of the fluid are solved by the method of successive approximations. Outside the boundary layer, a steady secondary flow is induced in addition to the time-varying motion.

Abstract Free vibration analysis of homogeneous and isotropic annular thin plates by using Green’s functions is considered. The formula of the influence function for uniform thin circular and annular plates is presented in closed-form. The limited independent solutions of differential Euler equation were expanded in the Neumann power series based on properties of integral equations. The analytical frequency equations as power series were obtained using the method of successive approximations. The natural axisymmetric frequencies for singularities when the core radius approaches zero are calculated. The results are compared with selected results presented in the literature.

The significant features of exchange symmetry are displayed by simple systems such as two identical, spinless fermions in a one-dimensional well with infinite walls. The conclusion is that the maxima of probability of the antisymmetrized wave function of these two fermions lie at the same positions as if a repulsive force (of unknown nature) was applied between these two fermions. This conclusion is combined with the solution of a mathematical problem dealing with the equilibrium of identical repulsive particles (of one or two kinds) on one or more spheres like neutrons and protons on nuclear shells. Such particles are at equilibrium only for specific numbers of particles and, in addition, if these particles lie on the vertices of regular polyhedra or their derivative polyhedra. Finally, this result leads to a pictorial representation of the structure of all closed shell nuclei. This representation could be used as a laboratory for determining nuclear properties and corresponding wave functions.
