Speeding chemical reactions by focusing.

چکیده
We present numerical results for a chemical reaction of colloidal particles which are transported by a laminar fluid and are focused by periodic obstacles in such a way that the two components are well mixed and consequently the chemical reaction is speeded up. The roles of the various system parameters (diffusion coefficients, reaction rate, and obstacles sizes) are studied. We show that focusing speeds up the reaction from the diffusion limited rate ∼t(-1/2) to very close to the perfect mixing rate, ∼t(-1).

A new type of power energy for accelerating chemical reactions: the nature of a microwave-driving force for accelerating chemical reactions
The use of microwave (MW) irradiation to increase the rate of chemical reactions has attracted much attention recently in nearly all fields of chemistry due to substantial enhancements in reaction rates. However, the intrinsic nature of the effects of MW irradiation on chemical reactions remains unclear. Herein, the highly effective conversion of NO and decomposition of H2S via MW catalysis wer...
متن کاملStochastic chemical kinetics and the total quasi-steady-state assumption: application to the stochastic simulation algorithm and chemical master equation.
Recently the application of the quasi-steady-state approximation (QSSA) to the stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) was suggested for the purpose of speeding up stochastic simulations of chemical systems that involve both relatively fast and slow chemical reactions [Rao and Arkin, J. Chem. Phys. 118, 4999 (2003)] and further work has led to the nested and slow-scale SSA. Improved numerical eff...

متن کاملBuilding the Components for a Biomolecular Computer
We propose a new method for amorphous bio-compatible computing using deoxyribozyme logic gates [1] in which oligonucleotides act as enzymes on other oligonucleotides, yielding oligonucleotide products. Moreover, these reactions can be controlled by inputs that are also oligonucleotides. We interpret these reactions as logic gates, and the concentrations of chemical species as signals. Since the...
متن کاملChemical pathways in ultracold reactions of SrF molecules
We present a theoretical investigation of the chemical reaction SrF + SrF → products, focusing on reactions at ultralow temperatures. We find that bond swapping SrF + SrF → Sr2 + F2 is energetically forbidden at these temperatures. Rather, the only energetically allowed reaction is SrF + SrF → SrF2 + Sr, and even then only singlet states of the SrF2 trimer can form. A calculation along a reduce...
