Abstract:

This study is concerned with the numerical solution of certain stochastic models of chemical reactions. Such descriptions have been shown to be useful tools when studying biochemical processes inside living cells where classical deterministic rate equations fail to reproduce actual behavior. The main contribution of this thesis lies in its theoretical and practical investigation of different methods for obtaining numerical solutions to such descriptions. In a preliminary study, a simple but often quite effective approach to the moment closure problem is examined. A more advanced program is the

Abstract:

Parameter inference for stochastic systems is considered as one of the fundamental classical problems in the domain of computational systems biology. The problem becomes challenging and often analytically intractable with the large number of uncertain parameters. In this scenario, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms have been proved to be highly effective. For a stochastic system, the most accurate description of the kinetics is given by the Chemical Master Equation (CME). Unfortunately, analytical solution of CME is often intractable even for considerably small amount of chemically rea

Abstract:

The recombination reaction Na + S02 + Ar was investigated at 787 16 K and at pressures from 1.7 to 80 kPa. NaI vapor was photolyzed by an excimer laser at 308 nm to create Na atoms, whose concentration was monitored by time-resolved resonance absorption at 589 nm. The rate constant at the low pressure limit is ko = (2.7 0.2) x 10-21 cm6 molecule-2 s~1. The Na-SO 2 dissociation energy E0 = 170 35 kJ mol1 was calculated with RRKM theory. The equilibrium constant gave a lower limit E0 > 172 kJ mol~ 1. By combination of these two results, E0 = 190 15 kJ mol~ 1 is obtained. The high pressure limit

Abstract:

The present thesis focuses on the intrinsic kinetics of clathrate hydrate formation to provide the fundamental data and modeling needed to predict hydrate growth. A novel hydrate growth model based on particle size distribution measurements and a concentration driving force was proposed. The reaction rate constant of propane hydrate formation was determined using the aforementioned model. The mole fraction of carbon dioxide and methane in the bulk liquid phase was measured at the onset of hydrate growth and thereafter in a semi-batch stirred tank crystallizer. It was found th

This work shows that nonlinear dynamic systems are quite different from linear dynamic systems.

The higher-order phase plots give yet additional information that is not present in the existing methods of plotting the data. Higher-order phase plots were originated and applied for the first time to a dynamical system (Mo

The need for improving the efficiency and reducing emissions is a constant challenge in combustion engine design. For spark ignition engines, these challenges have been targeted in the past decade or so, through ‘engine downsizing’ which refers to a reduction in engine displacement accompanied by turbocharging. Besides the benefits of this, it is expected to aggravate the already serious issue of engine knock owing to increased cylinder pressure. Engine knock which is a consequence of an abnormal mode of combustion in SI engines, is a performance limiting phenomenon and potentially damaging to
