Homogeneous Branched-Chain Explosions

چکیده
A model of homogeneous explosions with competing branching and recombination processes due to Kapila is analyzed by singular perturbation methods. In this model, the concentration of radicals is very low during a long induction period that ends with a rapid radical-growth stage in which all the reactants are consumed as the radicals reach their peak concentrations. The sudden jump in radical concentration is then followed by a long period of chain termination. Based on an exact relation between the fuel concentration and a slowly varying combination of fuel and radicals, we find a composite of two matched asymptotic expansions providing very good agreement with the numerical solution. This approximation is compared to another composite obtained by the method of multiple self-adjusting scales. Both approximations seem to be similarly accurate provided the induction time is calculated beyond leading order.

Homogeneous ignition for a three-step chain-branching reaction model
Spatially homogeneous thermal explosions governed by a three-step chain-branching kinetic model are described in the asymptotic limit of large activation energy for a range of chain-branching cross-over temperatures. The model consists of a sequence of chain-initiation, chain-branching and chain-termination steps. Temperaturesensitive Arrhenius kinetics is employed for the initiation and branch...
متن کاملThe influence of branching efficiency on the rheology and morphology of melt state long chain branched polypropylene/polybutene-1 blends
In this study, the compatibility of the blends of polypropylene (PP) and polybutene-1(PB-1) homopolymer before and after long chain branching process were studied. The blends were prepared and long-chain branched directly via reactive extrusion process in presence of free radical initiator and trimethylolpropane tri methacrylate (TMPTMA) poly functional monomer. The optimum percentage of TMPTMA...
متن کاملPurification and properties of branched chain amino acid aminotransferase from gramicidin S-producing Bacillus brevis.
The branched chain amino acid aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.42] was purified to a homogeneous state from a gramicidin S-producing strain of Bacillus brevis. The enzyme had a molecular weight of about 93,000 and consisted of two identical subunits, each with a molecular weight of about 47,000. One pyridoxal phosphate is bound per subunit. In addition to branched chain amino acids, the enzyme uses L...
متن کاملComplexity of the mixture of fatty acids from tubercle bacillus; C16 and C17 acids from virulent strains.
In a previous investigation (1)) we reported an examination of the fatty acids with fewer than 20 carbon atoms from the lipids of tubercle bacillus. In addition to the complete series of normal saturated acids from Cl4 to CK, and oleic acid (Z), branched chain acids were also present. The branched chain Cl* and Cl9 acids, isolated by gas chromatography from the lipids of virulent strains of the...

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Branched-Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) supplementation on O2 uptake kinetics and the time to exhaustion in trained women. Methods In this quasi-experimental study with pre-test/post-test design, participants were 20 trained women (Mean±SD age, 21.3±0.5 years). They were randomly assigned into two groups of BCAA (received 45mg/kg/d BCA...
