One of chemistry is the chemical element that is represented by the symbol on the periodic table. The low level of activity, interest, and the result of chemistry learning in school is caused by the students generally having difficulty in solving problems related to chemical reactions. In addition, most of the chemical concepts are abstract so it is difficult to imagine the structure of molecules clearly. Augmented Reality can integrate digital elements with the real world in real time and follow the circumstances surrounding environment. Augmented Reality can provide a new more interactive concept in the learning process because users can directly interact naturally. By using Augmented Reality, the atoms in the periodic table will be scanned using a camera from an Android-based smartphone that has installed this app. The scan results are then compared with existing data and will show the molecular structure in three-dimensional form. Users can also observe reactions between atoms by combining multiple markers simultaneously. Augmented Reality application is built using the concept of user-centered design and Unity with personal license as development tools. By using this app, studying chemical reactions no longer requires a variety of chemicals that could be harmful to users.

We report experimental and numerical observations on the way initially symmetric and time-periodic fluid oscillations in baffled channels develop in complexity. Experiments are carried out in a spatially periodic baffled channel with a sinusoidal oscillatory flow. At modest Reynolds number the observed vortex structure is symmetric and time periodic. At higher values the flow progressively becomes three-dimensional, asymmetric and aperiodic. A two-dimensional simulation of incompressible Newtonian flow is able to follow the flow pattern at modest oscillatory Reynolds number. At higher values we report the development of both asymmetry and a period-doubling cascade leading to a chaotic flow regime. A bifurcation diagram is constructed that can describe the progressive increase in complexity of the flow.

This article uses triglobal stability analysis to address the question of shock-buffet unsteadiness, and associated modal dominance, on infinite wings at high Reynolds number, expanding upon recent biglobal work, aspiring to elucidate the flow phenomenon's origin and characteristics. Infinite wings are modelled by extruding an aerofoil to finite aspect ratios and imposing a periodic boundary condition without assumptions on spanwise homogeneity. Two distinct steady base flows, spanwise uniform and non-uniform, are analysed herein on straight and swept wings. Stability analysis of straight-wing uniform flow identifies both the oscillatory aerofoil mode, linked to the chordwise shock motion synchronised with a pulsation of its downstream shear layer, and several monotone (non-oscillatory), spatially periodic shock-distortion modes. Those monotone modes become outboard travelling on the swept wing with their respective frequencies and phase speeds correlated with the sweep angle. In the limiting case of very small wavenumbers approaching zero, the effect of sweep creates branches of outboard and inboard travelling modes. Overall, triglobal results for such quasi-three-dimensional base flows agree with previous biglobal studies. On the contrary, cellular patterns form in proper three-dimensional base flow on straight wings, and we present the first triglobal study of such an equilibrium solution to the governing equations. Spanwise-irregular modes are found to be sensitive to the chosen aspect ratio. Nonlinear time-marching simulations reveal the flow evolution and distinct events to confirm the insights gained through dominant modes from routine triglobal stability analysis.

We review and improve previous work on non-equilibrium classical and quantum statistical systems, subject to potentials, without ab initio dissipation. We treat classical closed three-dimensional many-particle interacting systems without any “heat bath” ( h b ), evolving through the Liouville equation for the non-equilibrium classical distribution W c , with initial states describing thermal equilibrium at large distances but non-equilibrium at finite distances. We use Boltzmann’s Gaussian classical equilibrium distribution W c , e q , as weight function to generate orthogonal polynomials ( H n ’s) in momenta. The moments of W c , implied by the H n ’s, fulfill a non-equilibrium hierarchy. Under long-term approximations, the lowest moment dominates the evolution towards thermal equilibrium. A non-increasing Liapunov function characterizes the long-term evolution towards equilibrium. Non-equilibrium chemical reactions involving two and three particles in a h b are studied classically and quantum-mechanically (by using Wigner functions W). Difficulties related to the non-positivity of W are bypassed. Equilibrium Wigner functions W e q generate orthogonal polynomials, which yield non-equilibrium moments of W and hierarchies. In regimes typical of chemical reactions (short thermal wavelength and long times), non-equilibrium hierarchies yield approximate Smoluchowski-like equations displaying dissipation and quantum effects. The study of three-particle chemical reactions is new.

Three-dimensional continua capable of recurrent local activation are observed—both in the laboratory and in mathematical models—to support persistent self-organizing patterns of activity most conveniently described in terms of vortex lines. These lines generally close in rings, which may be linked and knotted. In some cases they adopt stable configurations resembling tiny dynamos of millimeter dimensions. The dynamics of these “organizing centers” has been investigated in certain chemical reactions, in heart muscle, and numerically in digital computers. The pertinent mathematical principles appear to entail consequences of local reaction and neighborhood diffusion, in the form of a dependency of the vortex filament’s lateral motion upon its local geometry and, when too closely approached by another segment of vortex filament, upon the distance and orientation involved.

We establish long-time and large-data existence of a weak solution to the problem describing three-dimensional unsteady flows of an incompressible fluid, where the viscosity and heat-conductivity coefficients vary with the temperature. The approach reposes on considering the equation for the total energy rather than the equation for the temperature. We consider the spatially periodic problem.

Abstract The asymptotic limit-cycle analysis of mathematical models for oscillating chemical reactions is presented. In this work, after a brief presentation of mathematical preliminaries applied to the biased Van der Pol oscillator, we consider a two-dimensional model of the Chlorine dioxide Iodine Malonic-Acid (CIMA) reactions and the three-dimensional and two-dimensional Oregonator models of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reactions. Explicit analytical expressions are given for the relaxation-oscillation periods of these chemical reactions that are accurate within 5% of their numerical values. In the two-dimensional CIMA and Oregonator models, we also derive critical parameter values leading to canard explosions and implosions in their associated limit cycles.
