Kinetics of rouleau formation. I. A mass action approach with geometric features

Kinetics of Propane Hydrate Formation in Agitated Reactor: A Mass Transfer Approach

Understanding the kinetics of gas hydrate formation is essential to model and predict the hydrate formation (or dissociation) process. In the present paper, we investigated the formation of pure propane gas hydrate as a former gas. In this regard, several experiments were conducted to measure the rate of hydrate formation under various pressures (410 to 510 kPa) and temperatures (274 K to 277 K...

Erythrocyte rouleau formation under polarized electromagnetic fields.

We study the influence of an external electromagnetic field of 1.8 GHz in the formation or disaggregation of long rouleau of identical erythrocyte cells. In particular we calculate the variation of the transmembrane potential of an individual erythrocyte illuminated by the external field due to the presence of the neighboring erythrocytes in the rouleau, and compare the total electric energy of...

Preclusion of switch behavior in networks with mass-action kinetics

We study networks taken with mass-action kinetics and provide a Jacobian criterion that applies to an arbitrary network to preclude the existence of multiple positive steady states within any stoichiometric class for any choice of rate constants. We are concerned with the characterization of injective networks, that is, networks for which the species formation rate function is injective in the ...

Results on stochastic reaction networks with non-mass action kinetics

In 2010, Anderson, Craciun, and Kurtz showed that if a deterministically modeled reaction network is complex balanced, then the associated stochastic model admits a stationary distribution that is a product of Poissons [5]. That work spurred a number of followup analyses. In 2015, Anderson, Craciun, Gopalkrishnan, and Wiuf considered a particular scaling limit of the stationary distribution det...
