A hybrid mesoscopic multiparticle collision model is used to study diffusion-influenced reaction kinetics. The mesoscopic particle dynamics conserves mass, momentum, and energy so that hydrodynamic effects are fully taken into account. Reactive and nonreactive interactions with catalytic solute particles are described by full molecular dynamics. Results are presented for large-scale, three-dime...

During the early stages of gastrulation in Drosophila embryo, the epithelial cells composing the single tissue layer of the egg undergo large strains and displacements. These movements have been usually modelled by decomposing the total deformation gradient in an (imposed or strain/stress dependent) active part and a passive response. Although the influence of the chemical and genetic activity ...

We study gradient formation of subdiffusive morphogens. The morphogens are produced at a source point at a constant rate. From there they move subdiffusively and are also subject to degradation at a rate that may depend on location and on time. Our analysis is based on a reaction-subdiffusion equation obtained from a continuous time random-walk model with a long-tailed waiting time distribution...

Abstract Gas to liquid (GTL) process involves heterogeneous catalytic chemical reactions that convert synthesis gas to hydrocarbons and water vapor. A three phase reactor, called Low temperature Fischer-Tropsch (LTFT) is commonly applied for GTL process. In this reactor the gaseous phase includes the synthesis gas, light hydrocarbons and water vapor, the liquid phase is a mixture of the h...

gasification is a well-known reaction owing to its relevance to generation of sustainable energyfrom biomass and development of porous carbons. the present paper attempts to experimentally investigate the kinetics of palm shell char gasification using carbon dioxide (co2) in a controlled environment using thermo gravimetric analyzer (tga) at temperatures ranging from 800 to1000°c. a relevant ki...

A total of nine immature–low maturity oil shale samples from Fushun and Maoming, the main producing areas in China, three mature Jiyang Depression, were selected for use hydrocarbon generation thermal simulation experiments an open system a closed system. The parallel first–order reaction kinetic model overall nth–order used to calibrate pyrolysis parameters samples. This comparative study reve...

thermodynamic restrictions and simultaneous effects of operational conditions on the homogeneous rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol are studied in this line of research. it is shown that the general nrtl-virial model can be appropriated to study thermodynamics of the carbonylation. it is obtained that the reaction is kinetically and thermodynamically reasonable at temperatures above 42...
