Density fingering of an exothermic autocatalytic reaction.
Density fingering of exothermic autocatalytic fronts in vertically oriented porous media and Hele-Shaw cells is studied theoretically for chemical reactions where the solutal and thermal contribution to density changes have opposite signs. The competition between these two effects leads to thermal plumes for ascending fronts. The descending fronts behave strikingly differently as they can featu...
متن کاملConvective fingering of an autocatalytic reaction front.
We report experimental observations of the convection-driven fingering instability of an iodate-arsenous acid chemical reaction front. The front propagated upward in a vertical slab; the thickness of the slab was varied to control the degree of instability. We observed the onset and subsequent nonlinear evolution of the fingers, which were made visible by a pH indicator. We measured the spacing...
متن کاملMeasurement of the temperature profile of an exothermic autocatalytic reaction front.
Autocatalytic reactions may propagate as solitary waves, namely, at a constant front velocity and with a stationary concentration profile, resulting from a balance between molecular diffusion and chemical reaction. When the reaction is exothermic, a thermal wave is linked to the chemical front. As the thermal diffusivity is nearly two orders of magnitude larger than the molecular one, the tempe...
متن کاملFingering of exothermic reaction-diffusion fronts in Hele-Shaw cells with conducting walls.
We consider the influence of heat losses through the walls of a Hele-Shaw cell on the linear stability and nonlinear dynamics of exothermic chemical fronts whose solutal and thermal contributions to density changes have the same signs. Our analysis is based on the reaction-diffusion-convection equations obtained from the Darcy-Boussinesq approximation. The parameters governing the equations are...
متن کاملAcute respiratory distress syndrome after an exothermic Baralyme-sevoflurane reaction.
ALL modern volatile anesthetics produce carbon monoxide in strongly exothermic reactions with anhydrous carbon dioxide absorbents. Although desflurane produces the most carbon monoxide, the reaction with sevoflurane produces the most heat. Using real anesthesia machines, sevoflurane, and desiccated Baralyme® (Allied Healthcare Products, Inc., St. Louis, MO), peak absorbent canister temperatures...
