Title: Quasilinear Reaction Diffusion Models For Exothermic Reaction
Abstract: This chapter describes the quasilinear reaction diffusion models for exothermic reaction. The chapter mentions an idealized model of irreversible chemical reaction. Actual chemical reactions involve a large number of chemical species and many intermediate chemical reactions. For example, it is argued that the production of water by combination of molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen is described by a reaction sequence involving eight chemical species and a minimum of sixteen reactions whereas a more complicated process such as methane oxidation involves twelve chemical species and twenty two reactions. In an effort to make such processes analytically and computationally tractable various idealized models have been put forth. General principles of chemical thermodynamics postulate that closed balanced systems attract to constant steady states.
