Correction of MHS Viscosimetric Constants upon Numerical Simulation of Temperature Induced Degradation Kinetic of Chitosan Solutions

The Mark–Houwink–Sakurada (MHS) equation allows for estimation of rheological properties, if the molecular weight is known along with good understanding of the polymer conformation. The intrinsic viscosity of a polymer solution is related to the polymer molecular weight according to the MHS equation, where the value of the constants is related to the specific solvent and its concentration. Howe...

Kinetic Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Pyrolysis

Thermal decomposition of organic matter under inert atmospheric conditions, leading to the release of volatiles and formation of cha is called as pyrolysis. It is also a first step in the biomass gasification. To design of a suitable pyrolysis reactor, understanding of kinetic parameters is essential. In the proposed kinetic model of this study, biomass decomposition is represented as a decompo...

Kinetic Theory Modeling and Efficient Numerical Simulation of Gene Regulatory Networks Based on Qualitative Descriptions

In this work, we begin by considering the qualitative modeling of biological regulatory systems using process hitting, from which we define its probabilistic counterpart by considering the chemical master equation within a kinetic theory framework. The last equation is efficiently solved by considering a separated representation within the proper generalized decomposition framework that allows ...

Kinetic Study, Modeling and Simulation of Homogeneous Rhodium-Catalyzed Methanol arbonylation to Acetic Acid

Thermodynamic restrictions and simultaneous effects of operational conditions on the homogeneous rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol are studied in this line of research. It is shown that the general NRTL-Virial model can be appropriated to study thermodynamics of the carbonylation. It is obtained that the reaction is kinetically and thermodynamically reasonable at temperatures abov...
