Finite element solution of the steady-state Smoluchowski equation for rate constant calculations.
This article describes the development and implementation of algorithms to study diffusion in biomolecular systems using continuum mechanics equations. Specifically, finite element methods have been developed to solve the steady-state Smoluchowski equation to calculate ligand binding rate constants for large biomolecules. The resulting software has been validated and applied to mouse acetylchol...
متن کاملConvective scheme solution of the Boltzmann transport equation for nanoscale semiconductor devices
A model for the simulation of the electron energy distribution in nanoscale metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) devices, using a kinetic simulation technique, is implemented. The convective scheme (CS), a method of characteristics, is an accurate method of solving the Boltzmann transport equation, a nonlinear integrodifferential equation, for the distribution of electrons...
متن کاملSpherical Harmonics Finite Element Solution of the Least-squares Neutron Transport Equation
To solve the neutron Boltzmann equation in anisotropic or void regions, one may use deterministic methods such as the discrete ordinates method or the even-parity approach. Both methods have shown numerous applications and developments in the last 30 years. Nevertheless both exhibit drawbacks in three-dimensions void regions that require special treatments, such as using characteristics method ...
متن کاملThe Finite Element Response Matrix Method for the Solution of the Neutron Transport Equation
-The finite element response matrix method has been applied to the solution of the neutron transport equation. This method has previously been applied to the neutron diffusion equation for coarse mesh reactor analysis with excellent results. As with the diffusion equation implementation, the transport method employs a local-global projection technique to allow treatment of internal heterogeneit...
متن کاملAN EQUATION ORIENTED APPROACH TO STEADY STATE FLOWSHEETING OF METHANOL SYNTHESIS LOOP
An equation-oriented approach was developed for steady state flowsheeting of a commercial methanol plant. The loop consists of fixed bed reactor, flash separator, preheater, coolers, and compressor. For steady sate flowsheeting of the plant mathematical model of reactor and other units are needed. Reactor used in loop is a Lurgi type and its configuration is rather complex. Previously reactor ...
