Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Activation Energies on Thermal Explosion in the Interior of the EarthAmos Oladele PopoolaProblem statement: Literatures have shown that thermal processes in the interior of the earth and the classical thermal explosion are analogous and that combustion processes are characterized by ignition and explosion. The heat released during the thermal explosion that occurs in the interior of the earth requires more attention. Approach: The study investigated the role of activation energies ratio in … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2011 · 7,277 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPower Series Solution for a Two-step Reactive-diffusive Equation with Variable Pre-exponential FactorE.A. Adebile, O.K. Koriko, U.S. IdiongWe discussed in this research a power series method for solution of a two-step reactive-diffusive equation with variable pre-exponential factor. A transformation was used to fit in the geometry of the model to allow an asymptotic series expansion which is invoked in a two compartmental regions with respect to the spatial variable. Adequate matching conditions were used at the interface … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,851 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombined Partial Oxidation and Carbon Dioxide Reforming Process: A Thermodynamic StudySompop JarungthammachoteProblem statement: CO2 reforming is one of the methods to utilize a greenhouse gas to produce syngas, an important feed for methanol and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. However, CO2 reforming is strong endothermic reaction requiring large amount of supplied energy. Partial oxidation, an exothermic reaction, is combined with CO2 reforming to serve the energy requirement. Thus, the optimum ranges of O2 and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,527 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solution For Frank-Kamenetskii And Activation Energy Parameters in Reactive-Diffusive Equation with Variable One-Exponential FactorO. K. Koriko, A. J. OmowayeIn this study, we considered a steady state, exothermic chemical reaction, taking the diffusion of the reactant into account and assuming an Arrhenius temperature dependence with variable pre-exponent factor. Numerical solution is constructed for the governing nonlinear boundary value problem using finite difference scheme .The effect of Frank-Kamenetskii, activation energy parameter and pre-exponent factor on the temperature were also examined, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,920 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat Transport Modeling in an Aquifer Downgradient a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in ItalyRajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaHeat generation inside municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is due to aerobic and anaerobic exothermic reactions occurring inside the waste. The result of heat generation and transport inside sanitary landfill leads to a temperature field that varies from mesophylic range (optimum at 30-40°C) to thermophylic range (optimum at 50-60°C). Due to high temperatures at the bottom of the landfill, liner … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,210 accessesView PDF Cite
