Theory for Diffusion-Limited Oscillating Chemical Reactions
نویسنده
چکیده
A kinetic description of lattice-gas automaton models for reaction-diffusion systems is presented. It provides corrections to the mean field rate equations in the diffusion-limited regime. When applied to the two-species Maginu model, the theory gives an excellent quantitative prediction of the effect of slow diffusion on the periodic oscillations of the average concentrations in a spatially homogeneous state.

Tutorial Review: Simulation of Oscillating Chemical Reactions Using Microsoft Excel Macros
Oscillating reactions are one of the most interesting topics in chemistry and analytical chemistry. Fluctuations in concentrations of one the reacting species (usually a reaction intermediate) create an oscillating chemical reaction. In oscillating systems, the reaction is far from thermodynamic equilibrium. In these systems, at least one autocatalytic step is required. Developing an instinctiv...
متن کاملChaos In Oscillating Chemical Reactions: The Peroxidase-Oxidase Reaction
The peroxidase-oxidase (PO) reaction is an important example of how oscillating reactions arise in living organisms. The reaction is important mathematically because exhibits many characteristics of chaos. Of these characteristics, sensitive dependence on initial conditions illustrates how predicting the future state of the PO reaction is next to impossible. For this reason, chaotic behavior in...
متن کاملNanomotor dynamics in a chemically oscillating medium.
Synthetic nanomotors powered by chemical reactions have potential uses as cargo transport vehicles in both in vivo and in vitro applications. In many situations, motors will have to operate in out-of-equilibrium complex chemically reacting media, which supply fuel to the motors and remove the products they produce. Using molecular simulation and mean-field theory, this paper describes some of t...

Notes by ChangHoon Lim 1. Warburg impedance for semi-infinite oscillating diffusion Warburg (Ann. Physik. 1899) is credited with the first solution to the diffusion equation with oscillating concentration at the boundary, which is related to the diffusional (or mass transfer) impedance of electrochemical systems. An interesting point made in the first part of the class is that the very same mat...
متن کاملKinetic theory and hydrodynamics of dense, reacting fluids far from equilibrium.
The kinetic theory for a fluid of hard spheres which undergo endothermic and/or exothermic reactions with mass transfer is developed. The exact balance equations for concentration, density, velocity, and temperature are derived. The Enskog approximation is discussed and used as the basis for the derivation, via the Chapman-Enskog procedure, of the Navier-Stokes reaction equations under various ...
