Model Chemical Reaction

The Sal’nikov thermokinetic oscillator is a model chemical reaction consisting of a two-stage decay of some chemical species. The first stage is a straightforward first-order decay process at constant temperature, but the second stage is exothermic, and is assumed to be governed by Arrhenius kinetics. When the containing vessel is well-stirred, the kinetic rate equation for the reaction along with an equation expressing conservation of energy leads to a system of two ordinary differential equations describing the behaviour of the process. The equations are coupled and highly nonlinear, and their solution gives the temperature inside the vessel and the concentration of the intermediate chemical species. Under certain circumstances, sustained periodic oscillations in these two quantities are possible. In this paper, I give a rigorous proof that these remarkable oscillations are not possible for certain combinations of the defining physical parameters. A numerical solution technique for obtaining periodic oscillations in the system is then presented; the method gives results of great accuracy, it automatically determines the stability of the solution, and is capable of computing unstable periodic orbits. Results of extensive numerical investigation are presented, and the occurrence of unstable limit cycles and multiple solutions is discussed in detail.

The consequences of double-diffusivity convection on the peristaltic transport of Sisko nanofluids in the non-uniform inclined channel and induced magnetic field are discussed in this article. The mathematical modeling of Sisko nanofluids with induced magnetic field and double-diffusivity convection is given. To simplify PDEs that are highly nonlinear in nature, the low but finite Reynolds number, and long wavelength estimation are used. The Numerical solution is calculated for the non-linear PDEs. The exact solution of concentration, temperature and nanoparticle are obtained. The effect of various physical parameters of flow quantities is shown in numerical and graphical data. The outcomes show that as the thermophoresis and Dufour parameters are raised, the profiles of temperature, concentration, and nanoparticle fraction all significantly increase.

Abstract In this article, we present the Laguerre wavelet exact Parseval frame method (LWPM) for the two-dimensional flow of a rotating micropolar fluid in a porous channel with huge mass transfer. This flow is governed by highly nonlinear coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced to the nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using Berman's similarity transformation before being solved numerically by a Laguerre wavelet exact Parseval frame method. We also compared this work with the other methods in the literature available. Moreover, in the graphs of the velocity distribution and microrotation, we shown that the proposed scheme's solutions are more accurate and applicable than other existing methods in the literature. Numerical results explaining the effects of various physical parameters connected with the flow are discussed.

The present exploration addresses the boundary layer electro-magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) flow of time-dependant non-Newtonian tangent hyperbolic nanofluid that is electrically conducting past a Riga surface with variable thickness and slip boundary condition. Configuration flow modeling is deduced considering chemical reaction and heat generation/absorption with the impacts of Brownian motion and thermophoresis. Also a newly proposed boundary condition with zero mass flux has been presented in the current contribution. Numerical solution of the governing non-linear differential equations is presented by considering the shooting technique. Graphical illustrations pointing out the aspects of distinct physical parameters on the non-Newtonian nanofluid velocity, temperature and concentration fields are introduced. From the computational results, the concentration distribution gives a decreasing function of the chemical reaction and Brownian motion parameters. Higher values of shape parameter yield a negative influence on the mechanical properties of the surface. The Hartmann number leads to maximize both of velocity field and skin friction coefficient. Additionally, numerical computed values of the skin friction, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are depicted with the needful discussion.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of binary chemical reaction and activation energy on nano Casson liquid flow past a stretched plate with non-linear radiative heat, and also, the effect of a novel exponential space-dependent heat source (ESHS) aspect along with thermal-dependent heat source (THS) effect in the analysis of heat transfer in nanofluid. Comparative analysis is carried out between the flows with linear radiative heat process and non-linear radiative heat process.Design/methodology/approachA similarity transformation technique is utilised to access the ODEs from the governed PDEs. The manipulation of subsequent non-linear equations is carried out by a well-known numerical approach called Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg scheme. Obtained solutions are briefly discussed with the help of graphical and tabular illustrations.FindingsThe effects of various physical parameters on temperature, nanoparticles volume fraction and velocity fields within the boundary layer are discussed for two different flow situations, namely, flow with linear radiative heat and flow with non-linear radiative heat. It is found that an irregular heat source/sink (ESHS and THS) and non-linear solar radiation play a vital role in the enhancement of the temperature distributions.Originality/valueThe problem is relatively original to study the effects of activation energy and binary chemical reaction along with a novel exponential space-based heat source on laminar boundary flow past a stretched plate in the presence of non-linear Rosseland radiative heat.

Special Cases

A one-dimensional advective-dispersive contaminant transport model with scale-dependent dispersion coefficient in the presence of a nonlinear chemical reaction of arbitrary order is considered. Two types of variations of the dispersion coefficient with the downstream distance are considered. The first type assumes that the dispersivity increases as a polynomial function with distance while the other assumes an exponentiallyincreasing function. Since the general problem is nonlinear and possesses no analytical solutions, a numerical solution based on an efficient implicit iterative tri-diagonal finitedifference method is obtained. Comparisons with previously published analytical and numerical solutions for special cases of the main transport equation are performed and found to be in excellent agreement. A parametric study of all physical parameters is conducted and the results are presented graphically to illustrate interesting features of the solutions. It is found that the chemical reaction order and rate coefficient have significant effects on the contaminant concentration profiles. Furthermore, the scale-dependent polynomial type dispersion coefficient is predicted to obtain significant changes in the contaminant concentration at all dimensionless time stages compared with the constant dispersion case. However, relatively smaller changes in the concentration level are predicted for the exponentially-increasing dispersion coefficient.

AbstractThis study presents the influence of heat and mass transfer on peristaltic transport of Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic Peterlin (FENE-P) fluid in the presence of chemical reaction. It is assumed that all the fluid properties, except the density are constant. The Boussinesq approximation which relates density change to temperature and concentration changes is used in formulating buoyancy force terms in the momentum equation. Moreover, we neglect viscous dissipation and include diffusion-thermal (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects in the present analysis. By the consideration of such important aspects the flow equations become highly nonlinear and coupled. In order to make the problem tractable we have adopted widely used assumptions of long wave length and low Reynolds number. An exact solution of the simplified coupled linear equations for the temperature and concentration has been obtained whereas numerical solution is obtained for dimensionless stream function and pressure gradient. The effects of different parameters on velocity field, temperature and concentration fields and trapping phenomenon are highlighted through various graphs. Numerical integration has been performed to analyze pressure rise per wavelength.

This paper is basically devoted to carry out an investigation regarding the unsteady flow of dissipative and heat absorbing hydromagnetic graphene Maxwell nanofluid over a linearly stretched sheet taking momentum and thermal slip conditions into account. Ethylene glycol is selected as a base fluid while graphene particles are considered as nanoparticles. The highly nonlinear mathematical model of the problem is converted into a set of nonlinear coupled differential equations by means of fitting similarity variables. Further, Runge-Kutta Fehlberg algorithms along with the shooting scheme are instigated to analyse the numerical solution. The variations in graphene Maxwell nanofluid velocity and temperature owing to different physical parameters have been demonstrated via numerous graphs whereas Nusselt number and skin friction coefficients are illustrated in numeric data form and are reported in different tables. In addition, a statistical method is implemented for multiple quadratic regression estimation analysis on the numerical figures of wall velocity gradient and local Nusselt number to establish the connection among heat transfer rate and physical parameters. Our numerical findings reveal that the magnetic field, unsteadiness, inclination angle of magnetic field and porosity parameters boost the graphene Maxwell nanofluid velocity while Maxwell parameter has a reversal impact on it. The regression analysis confers that Nusselt number is more prone to heat absorption parameter as compared to Eckert number. Finally, the numerical findings are compared with those of earlier published articles under restricted conditions to validate the numerical solution. The comparison of numerical findings shows an excellent conformity among the results.
