Unsteady flow of a Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface in presence of chemical reaction

An analysis is presented for unsteady two-dimensional flow of a Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface in presence of a first order constructive/destructive chemical reaction. Using suitable transformations, the governing partial differential equations are converted to ordinary one and are then solved numerically by shooting method. The flow fields and mass transfer are significantly influenced by the governing parameters. Fluid velocity initially decreases with increasing unsteadiness parameter and concentration decreases significantly due to unsteadiness. The effect of increasing values of the Maxwell parameter is to suppress the velocity field. But the concentration is enhanced with increasing Maxwell parameter.

Numerical investigation of ethylene flame bubble instability induced by shock waves

In this paper, the ethylene/oxygen/nitrogen premixed flame instabilities induced by incident and reflected shock wave were investigated numerically. The effects of grid resolutions and chemical mechanisms on the flame bubble deformation process are evaluated. In the computational frame, the 2D multi-component Navier–Stokes equations with second-order flux-difference splitting scheme were used; the stiff chemical source term was integrated using an implicit ordinary differential equations (ODEs) solver. The two ethylene/oxygen/nitrogen chemical mechanisms, namely 3-step reduced mechanism and 35-step elementary skeletal mechanism, were used to examine the reliability of chemistry. On the other hand, the different grid sizes, Δx × Δy = 0.25 × 0.5mm and Δx × Δy = 0.15 × 0.2mm, were implemented to examine the accuracy of the grid resolution. The computational results were qualitatively validated with experimental results of Thomas et al. (Combust Theory Model 5:573–594, 2001). Two chemical mechanisms and two grid resolutions used in present study can qualitatively reproduce the ethylene spherical flame instability process generated by an incident shock wave of Mach number 1.7. For the case of interaction between the flame and reflected shock waves, the 35-steps mechanism qualitatively predicts the physical process and is somewhat independent on the grid resolutions, while the 3-steps mechanism fails to reproduce the instability of ethylene flame for the two selected grid resolutions. It is concluded that the detailed chemical mechanism, which includes the chain elementary reactions of fuel combustion, describes the flame instability induced by shock wave, in spite of the fact that the flame thickness (reaction zone) is represented by 1–2 grids only.      

Hydrodynamic Instabilities Driven by Acid-base Neutralization Reaction in Immiscible System

The hydrodynamic instabilities driven by an acid-base neutralization reaction, in contact along a plane interface, placed in a Hele-Shaw cell under the gravitational field are reported.The system consists of the heavier aqueous tetramethyle-ammonium hydroxide below the lighter layer of organic phase with propionic acid as reacting specie. The effect of chemical composition on hydrodynamic instabilities during interfacial mass transfer accompanied by a neutralization reaction is investigated. Depending on the initial concentration of the reacting species, Marangoni convection in the form of roll cells or trains of waves is observed. Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used to measure the change in base concentration at the time of instability formation. The results show that the instabilities resulted from the convection flow are more efficient to the mechanism of mass transfer and can drastically alter pattern formation in the system.

Collision-induced fragmentation and neutralization of methanol cluster cations

This contribution addresses the inelastic interaction of positively charged molecular cluster ions with a solid surface at kinetic energies up to 30 eV/molecule. We report experimental results on the scattering of mass-selected, protonated methanol cluster cations (CH₃OH)_nH⁺, n = 4-32, off a diamond-coated silicon surface. In particular we provide fragment size distributions of methanol cluster ions following their impact on the target, as well as surface-induced neutralization probabilities of methanol cluster ions as a function of the size and the kinetic energy of the parent clusters.

Optimum parameters to etch Nd:YAG crystals with orthophosphoric acid H3PO4

Subsurface flaws, which determine the fracture strength of crystals, can be removed by the aid of chemical etching. Above a temperature of 200°C orthophosphoric acid H₃PO₄ is an efficient etchant for yttrium aluminium garnets. However, at these temperatures the etchant decomposes into its related phosphoric acids which show negligible etching rates for garnets. It takes a long time to warm up a large volume of acid and the etchant is decomposed for the most part already before the optimum temperature is reached. We show that efficient etching is achieved when the samples are in the bath already during the warm-up phase and specify the parameters for the optimum etch process.     

Nonideal effects behind reflected shock waves in a high-pressure shock tube

Abstract. Shock tubes often experience temperature and pressure nonuniformities behind the reflected shock wave that cannot be neglected in chemical kinetics experiments. Because of increased viscous effects, smaller tube diameters, and nonideal shock formation, the reflected-shock nonidealities tend to be greater in higher-pressure shock tubes. Since the increase in test temperature () is the most significant parameter for chemical kinetics, experiments were performed to characterize in the Stanford High Pressure Shock Tube using infrared emission from a known amount of CO in argon. From the measured change in vibrationally equilibrated CO emission with time, the corresponding ddt (or for a known time interval) of the mixture was inferred assuming an isentropic relationship between post-shock temperature and pressure changes. For a range of representative conditions in argon (24–530 atm, 1275–1900 K), the test temperature 2 cm from the endwall increased 3–8 K after 100 s and 15–40 K after 500 s, depending on the initial conditions. Separate pressure measurements using a shielded piezoelectric transducer confirmed the isentropic assumption. An analytical model of the reflected-shock gas dynamics was also developed, and the calculated 's agree well with those obtained from experiment. The analytical model was used to estimate the effects of temperature and pressure nonuniformities on typical chemical kinetics measurements. When the kinetics are fast (s), the temperature increase is typically negligible, although some correction is suggested for kinetics experiments lasting longer than 500 s. The temperature increase, however, has a negligible impact on the measured laser absorption profiles of OH (306 nm) and CH (216 nm), validating the use of a constant absorption coefficient. Infrared emission experiments are more sensitive to temperature and density changes, so nonuniformities should be taken into account when interpreting ir-emission data.
