Chemical Kinetics – Fundamentals and Applications in Atmospheric and Combustion Chemistry

Shock tubes are quite universal tools to study high-temperature reactions in the gas phase (800 K < T < 3000 K). A gas mixture is rapidly (t < 1 μs) heated by a travelling shock wave, and species formed behind the shock front are time-resolved detected, where we use absorption spectroscopy [1] and mass spectrometry. [2] Kinetic data are inferred from the concentration-time profiles. A recent ex...

Fundamentals of Chemical Reactor Theory

Introduction In our everyday life we operate chemical processes, but we generally do not think of them in such a scientific fashion. Examples are running the washing machine or fertilizing our lawn. In order to quantify the efficiency of dirt removal in the washer, or the soil distribution pattern of our fertilizer, we need to know which transformation the chemicals will experience inside a def...

Fundamentals of Hydrolysis: Kinetics of Carbaryl Hydrolysis

Introduction: During 2000, 293 billion pounds of about 8000 different organic compounds were manufactured in the United States (1). Many millions of pounds of synthetic organic compounds are deliberately introduced into the environment for weed and pest control, and many millions of pounds of other chemicals are introduced into the environment through their proper uses. However, an increase in ...

Fundamentals of Stein ’ s method ∗

Abstract: This survey article discusses the main concepts and techniques of Stein’s method for distributional approximation by the normal, Poisson, exponential, and geometric distributions, and also its relation to concentration of measure inequalities. The material is presented at a level accessible to beginning graduate students studying probability with the main emphasis on the themes that a...
