Monte Carlo simulation of temperature dependence of electric conductivity of a model mixture system, which involves reaction with first order kinetics, was carried out on the basis of chemical kinetics laws. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of rubber compounds during the process of...

Past numerical studies on natural gas HCCI engines have provided few thorough analyses of the effects of operating parameters on nitrogen oxides (referring to the mixture of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide). A single zone thermodynamic model with detailed chemical kinetics was used to...

In this article, we build a self consistent mean field deterministic model for the muscular contraction. The two main variables are the number of free myosin heads and the number of myosin heads attached to the actin, just after attachment. The model is natural in the sense that it respects the...

2,5-Dimethylfuran (DMF), which is considered as a promising new generation of alternative fuel, has the potential to relieve the global fossil fuel shortage and air pollution problems. In the last 5 years, the preparation methods, applications, and the oxidation and combustion characteristics of...

The exhaust gases contain large amounts of unburned hydrocarbons during cranking without combustion. The effects of unburned hydrocarbon recirculation on ignition and combustion during diesel engine cold starts were investigated using both experiments and simulations. Experiments were conducted...

When comparing the predictions of Bohm's theory for quantum ensembles of one-particle systems corresponding to a pure state, with ‘conventional’ quantum mechanics, two possibilities have been considered in the past: quantum equilibrium (ρ(r)=N|ψ(r)|2, where ρ is the hidden particle...

Results are presented to examine the combustion of acid gas (H2S and CO2) in hydrogen-fueled flames using a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen under Claus conditions (Φ=3). Specifically the effect of oxygen enrichment in the above flames is examined. The compositions of acid gas examined are100%...

In the present study, in-cylinder diesel combustion simulation was performed with parallel processing on an Intel Xeon Quad-Core platform to allow both fluid dynamics and chemical kinetics of the surrogate diesel fuel model to be solved simultaneously on multiple processors. Here, Cartesian...

Mechanism of alcoholysis (e.g. methanolysis) using different oils, alcohols and homogeneous base catalysts was utilized to devise chemical kinetics and thermodynamics based on fatty acid composition, differentiating among triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides and fatty acid alkyl esters...

This computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study is performed to investigate the combustion characteristics and emissions formation processes of biodiesel fuels in a light-duty diesel engine. A compact reaction mechanism with 80 species and 303 reactions is used to account for the effects of...
