Abstract
The influences of physicochemical parameters on chemohydrodynamic oscillations, driven by surface tension variations due to a bimolecular reaction, are examined numerically. By considering mass, momentum, and chemical species balances across the air–solution interface, we derived interface conditions and incorporated them into the conventional momentum equation, i.e., the Navier–Stokes equation. By considering the reaction rate, the initial reactant ratio, the reactor size, and Marangoni numbers of the reactants and product, we derived some dimensionless physiochemical parameters, and analyzed their effects on the temporal oscillation of the reaction system. Even though the surface tension gradient due to a faster chemical reaction promotes the damped oscillation, the chemical reaction rate plays little role in the onset of oscillation and its period for the fast reaction system. Furthermore, during the initial reaction period, the temporal oscillation of the reaction system is influenced by the physical parameters, i.e., the Marangoni numbers and the initial reactants ratio. However, the effects of these physical parameters become weaker as the reaction progresses.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering provides a global forum for the dissemination of research in chemical engineering. The Journal publishes significant research results obtained in the Asia-Pacific region, and simultaneously introduces recent technical progress made in other areas of the world to this region. Submitted research papers must be of potential industrial significance and specifically concerned with chemical engineering. The editors will give preference to papers having a clearly stated practical scope and applicability in the areas of chemical engineering, and to those where new theoretical concepts are supported by new experimental details. The Journal also regularly publishes featured reviews on emerging and industrially important subjects of chemical engineering as well as selected papers presented at international conferences on the subjects.
