Measurements in Agro-ecologic Micrometeorology Need New Model of Multi-component Reacting Gaseous Flow

On the flow of chemically reacting gaseous mixture

We consider the Cauchy problem for the system of equations governing flow of isothermal reactive mixture of compressible gases. Our main contribution is to prove sequential stability of weak solutions when the state equation essentially depends on the species concentration and the viscosity coefficients vanish on vacuum. Moreover, under additional assumption on the ”cold” component of the press...

Rejection of the Feed-Flow Disturbances in a Multi-Component Distillation Column Using a Multiple Neural Network Model-Predictive Controller

This article deals with the issues associated with developing a new design methodology for the nonlinear model-predictive control (MPC) of a chemical plant. A combination of multiple neural networks is selected and used to model a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process with time delays.  An optimization procedure for a neural MPC algorithm based on this model is then developed. T...

Numerical Computation Of Multi-Component Two-Phase Flow in Cathode Of PEM Fuel Cells

A two-dimensional, unsteady, isothermal and two-phase flow of reactant-product mixture in the air-side electrode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is studied numerically in the present study. The mixture is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, liquid water and water vapor. The governing equations are two species conservation, a single momentum equation for mobile mixture, liquid mass cons...

Multi-component Multiphase Flow

An axiomatic foundation for models of multi-component multiphase porous flow appearing ubiquitously in the engineering literature is developed. This unifies and extends various disparate and empirical formulations appearing in the literature. Constitutive restrictions are derived from an appropriate statement of the second law of thermodynamics, and the corresponding dissipation inequalities es...
