On Step‐Function Reaction Kinetics Model in the Absence of Material Diffusion

Abstract: We propose a precise definition of the step-function kinetics suitable for approximating diffuse propagating reaction fronts in one-dimensional gasless-combustion-type models when a Lewis number is large. We investigate this kinetics in the context of free-radical frontal polymerization (FP) in which a monomer-initiator mixture is converted into a polymer via a propagating self-sustaining reaction front. The notion of step-function kinetics has been extensively used in studies of the frontal dynamics both in F… Show more

“…Most analytical studies of FP available in the literature are performed in a 1-D setting and do not involve the effects of heat losses along the boundary. Frulleni et al used the finite difference method to simulate FP in epoxy in a 2D channel with convective boundary conditions imposed along the edges of the channel.…”

“…The latter problem has received considerable attention of physicists and applied mathematicians. Starting from celebrated work [18] there have been a substantial number of papers studying propagation and stability of combustion fronts in solid fuel combustion, see for example [3,10,11,22]. However, the rigorous analysis of this problem in a limit of high activation energy has been performed only recently in [20].…”

“…Mathematical modeling provides a low-cost method to study the characteristics and factors of FP behavior. Currently, some basic mathematical models of the free-radical FP are being developed [ 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 , 107 ]. Goldfeder et al [ 100 , 101 ] developed a mathematical model to describe the free-radical FP process in both adiabatic and non-adiabatic cases.…”
