Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOn Thermal Explosion of Sensitized Reaction with Variable Heat LossK.S. Adegbie, F.I. AlaoThis study discusses the influence of heat loss on the critical ignition temperature and Frank-Kamenetskii parameter of a non-linear ordinary differential equation arising in thermal sensitized reaction. The reaction obeys the Arrhenius expression with temperature dependent pre-exponential factor, taking heat exchange between the reacting material and its surrounding into account. The consequences of heat loss are explored within the framework … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 30 Apr 2007 · 6,929 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFlow of Temperature-dependent Viscous Fluid Between Parallel Heated Walls: Exact Analytical Solutions in the Presence of Viscous DissipationK. S. Adegbie, F. I. AlaoWe examine steady incompressible flow of viscous liquids between parallel heated walls of plane Couette device. The temperature of the upper and lower walls of the device are maintained at T = Tb and T = T0 respectively. Of a particular interest are exact analytical solutions of the coupled non-linear differential equations resulting from plane Couette flow obtained for the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,483 accessesView PDF Cite
