Microwave Effect in Chemical Reactions

Effect of Confinement on Chemical Reactions

Molecular simulation studies of chemical equilibrium for several reactions in pores of slit-like and cylindrical geometry have shown a significant effect of the confinement on the equilibrium compositions, with differences of several orders of magnitude with respect to the bulk fluid phase in some cases. As a first step towards the calculation of rate constants in confinement, we have studied t...

Chemical salt reactions as algebraic hyperstructures

A salt metathesis reaction is a chemical process involving the exchange of bonds between two reacting chemical species, which results in the creation of products with similar or identical bonding affiliations. Hyperstructure theory is studied from the theoretical point of view and for its applications. In this paper, we provide some examples of hyperstructures associated with salt m...

Stereochemical Control in Microwave Stimulated Acylation Reactions

There is an extensive body of literature reporting rate enhancements when organic reactions are carried out in the presence of a microwave field. Much of this relates to reactions performed in pressure vessels where the rate enhancement observed occurs as a function of the elevated boiling points that result from the autothermal pressure within the sealed system. An alternative approach has bee...

Effect of chemical reactions on decaying isotropic turbulence

There have been many studies of turbulent combustion flows, however the interaction between turbulent motion and the chemical reactions that occur in hypersonic flows has not been studied. In these flows, the rate of product formation depends almost exclusively on the temperature, and small temperature fluctuations may produce large changes in the rate of product formation. To study this proces...
