Сoncentration waves behaviour and the chromatographic displacement development in the sorbentsnanocomposites during the multicomponent mass transfer and visualisation of the sorption kinetics process

There is considered the Multi-(6th)-component Mass Transfer (MMT) inside the planar matrices ofthe sorbent-NanoComposite (NC) by the computerized modelling. During the MMT kinetics in the NC planar-membrane the chromatographic Displacement Development (DD) for the propagating modes of the twoconcentration Xm(1,2)(L,T)-principal waves is modeled for the two principal m1,2-sorbate components (m=1,2)of the Multi(6)-components NC MMT combined “Diffusion, and sorption” system.The computerized modelling mentioned here is based on the mathematical solution of the MMTmulti 6-components Eqns. partial differential including as the basis the author’s bi-functional NC MMTModels. The main advantage of the NC Models considered concludes in the introduction of the two sorbatediffusing principal Pi(3.4)-components into the consideration. The similarity and the differences between themulticomponent Xn(L,T)-concentration waves propagation for the MMT processes in the modern NC matrixand in the chromatographic column are discussed.The visualization of the kinetics of the MMT процесс is realized by the creation of the Sci. computerizedAnimations: “SCA.avi” video-files which demonstrate visually (after the program start) the propagationof the multi(n)-component Xn(1-6)(L,T)-concentration waves through the NC matrixe. Here the “SCA.avianimations display the DD chromatographic effect during oral presentation with the mentioned DDdisplacementof the X2-concentration waves by the X1-waves of the 1-component (displacer).

Capacity-limiting mechanisms in Li/O2 batteries

A continuum model of an aprotic lithium/oxygen battery is validated against experimental first-discharge data and used to examine how the apparent cell capacity is affected by macroscopic multicomponent mass transfer, interfacial kinetics, and electronic conduction or tunneling through the discharge product.
