Abstract:
Processes of the cold-flame combustion of a mixture of two hydrocarbons are studied on the base of a three-dimensional nonlinear dynamical model. Bifurcation analysis of the deterministic model reveals mono- and bistability parameter zones with equilibrium and oscillatory attractors. For this model, effects of random disturbances in the bistability parameter zone are studied. We show that random forcing causes transitions between coexisting stable equilibria and limit cycles with the formation of complex stochastic mixed-mode oscillations. Properties of these oscillatory regimes are studied by means of statistics of interspike intervals. A phenomenon of anti-coherence resonance is discussed. This article is part of the theme issue 'Transport phenomena in complex systems (part 2)'.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
