We study the Riemann problem with forward combustion due to injection of air into a porous medium containing solid fuel. We neglect air compressibility and heat loss to the rock formation. Given initial reservoir and injection conditions, we prove that there is a unique time asymptotic wave sequence for combustion with complete oxygen consumption. The sequence consists of a region of unburned a...

Nanocrystalline alumina powder has been synthesized using solution combustion method. The obtained nanocrystalline alumina powder was used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of imidazo[1,2-a]azine derivatives from one-pot three component reaction of benzaldehyde, 2-aminoazine and trimethylsilylcyanide under ultrasonic irradiation and refluxing condition. Reusability of catalyst and shor...

This paper examines the manner in which heat release resulting from premixed combustion alters the nature of near-critical, axisymmetric, swirling flow in a straight circular pipe. Attention is confined to dilute premixtures so that exothermicity is weak and a small-disturbance approach applicable. The weak exothermicity is found to have a considerably larger effect on the flow. In the absence ...

zro2 nanopowder was prepared by the sol-gel auto-combustion method. the product was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive analysis of x-ray (edx) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the average crystalline size of zro2 was obtained 62 nm. also, photocatalytic removal of nitrophenol from aqueous solution by using nanoscale zro2 under uv light irradiation was studied. th...

Nanocrystalline partially stabilised zirconia (PSZ) and yttria-fully stabilised zirconia (YSZ) powders were prepared by solution combustion process. Nanocrystalline nature of the powders was confirmed by XRD and TEM. Nanocomposite Ni/PSZ and Ni/YSZ films were electrodeposited from a suspension of nanoparticles in nickel sulfamate solution. The strengthening of the nanocomposite due to nanoparti...

zno and zro2 photo catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of zno and zro2 was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. also, photo catalytic degradation of nitro phenol f...
