In this paper it is investigated the roles of key elementary reactions for NO formation in methane-air one-dimensional premixed flame and counterflow diffusion flame, which were studied numerically by using NO kinetics and $C_{2}$ -chemistry complied by Miller and Bowman. The spatial distributions of the reaction rates of 9 main elementary reactions directly related to NO formation and destruction were calculated. Integration of the rates of all reactions in the NO formation across the flame yields the quantitative reaction path diagram, which shows clearly relative importance of each reaction path in NO formation and how it changes with the type and parameters of the flame. The results show that the thermal and Fenimore mechanisms are dominant respectively for learn and rich premixed flames, and the latter is dominant for diffusion flames. In addition, it was found that the HCN recycle route is important for diffusion flame, and that the routes of mutual transformation between NO and NO$^{2}$, and between NO and HNO do not contribute to the net NO formation.

Stability characteristics of hyperbolic reaction-diffusion equations with a reversible Brusselator model are investigated as an extension of the previous work. Intensive stability analysis is performed for three important parameters, Nrd, β and Dx, where Nrd is the reaction-diffusion number which is a measure of hyperbolicity, β is a measure of reversibility of autocatalytic reaction and Dx is a diffusion coefficient of intermediate X. Especially, the dependence on Nrd of stability exhibits some interesting features, such as hyperbolicity in the small Nrd region and parabolicity in the large Nrd region. The hyperbolic reaction-diffusion equations are solved numerically by a spectral method which is modified and adjusted to hyperbolic partial differential equations. The numerical method gives good accuracy and efficiency even in a stiff region in the case of small Nrd, and it can be extended to a two-dimensional system. Four types of solution, spatially homogeneous, spatially oscillatory, spatio-temporally oscillatory and chaotic can be obtained. Entropy productions for reaction are also calculated to get some crucial information related to the bifurcation of the system. At the bifurcation point, entropy production changes discontinuously and it shows that different structures of the system have different modes in the dissipative process required to maintain the structure of the system. But it appears that magnitude of entropy production in each structure give no important information related for states of system itself.

This study analyzed the demographic characteristics, strengths and weaknesses related to information acquisition of local innovation diffusion types. This study use ordered probit model to find strengths and weaknesses of innovation diffusion type in rural area. The individual characteristics of 'formal extension type', 'situational reaction diffusion type', 'agriculturist connection type', and 'systematic approach type', all differentiated according to innovation diffusion type, were analyzed. Following Choi & Choe(2008), immediacy, accessibility, referability, applicability, and satisfaction were the highest in the situational reaction diffusion type, systematic approach type, formal extension type, and farmers connection type, in the order. And there existed organic contexts among individual characteristics. So this study tried to analyze strengths and weaknesses of innovation diffusion type with a focus on immediacy, which emerged as the most important variable in the process of interpreting innovation diffusion. And the strengths and weaknesses of each innovation diffusion type were presented.

We consider the reaction-diffusion system of two-component model in one-dimensional space described by $$ (1) u_s = d_1 u_{xx} + f(u, \upsilon) \upsilon_t = d_2\upsilon_{xx} + \gammag(u, \upsilon) $$ where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are the diffusion rates of u and $\upsilon$, and $\gamma$ is the ration of reaction rates. It is interesting the case of that there are differences in the diffusion and reaction rates of u and $\upsilon$.

In this paper, we study delayed high-order Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with reaction-diffusion terms and Neumann boundary conditions. By using inequality techniques and constructing Lyapunov functional method, some sufficient conditions are given to ensure the existence and convergence of the periodic oscillatory solution. Finally, an example is given to verify the theoretical analysis.

In this paper, we consider three-component reaction-diffusion system. With an integral condition and a global coupling, this system gives us an interesting free boundary problem. We shall examine the occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation and the stability of solutions as the global coupling constant varies. The main result is that a Hopf bifurcation occurs for global coupling and this motion is transferred to the stable motion for strong global coupling.

Blow-up phenomena for a nonlocal reaction-diffusion system with time-dependent coefficients are investigated under null Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using Kaplan's method with the comparison principle, we establish new blow-up criteria and obtain the upper bounds for the blow-up time of the solution under suitable measure sense in the whole-dimensional space.

In this paper, a reaction-diffusion model of carbonation process in self-compacting concrete (SCC) was realized with a consideration of multi-field couplings. Various effects from environmental conditions, e.g. ambient temperature, relative humidity, carbonation reaction, were incorporated into a numerical simulation proposed by ANSYS. In addition, the carbonation process of SCC was experimentally investigated and compared with a conventionally vibrated concrete (CVC). It is found that SCC has a higher carbonation resistance than CVC with a comparable compressive strength. The numerical solution analysis agrees well with the test results, indicating that the proposed model is appropriate to calculate and predict the carbonation process in SCC. The parameters sensitivity analysis also shows that the carbon dioxide diffusion coefficient and moisture field are essentially crucial to the carbonation process in SCC.
