چکیده

This article describes the use of the symbolic manipulation language MAPLE for the analysis of bifurcation phenomena in condensed-phase combustion. The physical problem concerns the structure and stability properties of a combustion front that propagates in the axial direction along the surface of a cylindrical solid fuel element. Experimental observations suggest that the front may propagate in a number of different ways; the objective of the investigation is to describe these different modes of propagation. The analysis involves the study of a set of nonlinear partial differential equations which describe the structure and evolution of the combustion front. Because the location of the front is unknown and must be found as part of the,solution, thh problem is a free boundary value problera. The purpose of this article is to sh~Sv¢ how symbolic manipulation languages like MAPLE can be combined effectively with analysis and numerical computations for this type of investigation.

Using MAPLE for the Analysis of Bifurcation Phenomena in Gas Combustion

We consider a three-dimensional thermal-diffusion model for a premixed burner flame. Many experimental and theoretical works in condensed-phase and gas combustion show that the flame front may propagate in a number of different ways. The structure and stability properties of the front depend essentially on the physical parameters of the model. This article describes the use of the symbolic mani...

Two Phase Modeling of Char Combustion in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Reactor Using ASPEN PLUS

In this paper, combustion of char in the riser of circulating fluidized bed was modeled using ASPEN PLUS. Since physical and chemical phenomena are involved in the process, the model integrates the two-phase hydrodynamic sub-model with the reaction sub-model derived from the literature. In the proposed model, the fluidized bed is divided into several sections and the behavior of each section wa...

Chaotic motion of a bimetallic circular plate

Considering the effect of geometric nonlinearity and uniformly distributed time-varying temperature, the bifurcation behaviors and chaotic phenomena of a bimetallic thin circular plate are investigated. First of all, the nonlinear dynamic equation for bimetallic plate is established and further reduced to Duffing equation of harmonic parametric excitation, from which the pitchfork bifurcation p...
