Homogeneous–Heterogeneous Chemical Reactions of Radiation Hybrid Nanofluid Flow on a Cylinder with Joule Heating: Nanoparticles Shape Impact

The current analysis aims to exhibit the nanoparticles of Al2O3 + Cu-water hybrid nanofluid flow for Darcy–Forchheimer with heterogeneous–homogeneous chemical reactions and magnetic field aspects past a stretching or shrinking cylinder with Joule heating. This paper performed not only with the hybrid nanofluid but also the shape of Al2O3 and Cu nanoparticles. The model of single-phase hybrid nanofluid due to thermophysical features is utilized for the mathematical formulation. In the present exploration equal diffusions factors for reactants and auto catalyst are instituted. The system of governing equations has been simplified by invoking the similarity transformation. The numerical computations are invoked due to the function bvp4c of Matlab, with high non-linearity. Numerical outcomes illustrated that; sphere shape nanoparticles presented dramatic performance on heat transfer of hybrid nanofluid movement; an opposite behavior is noticed with lamina shape. The local Nusselt number strengthens as the transverse curvature factor becomes larger. In addition, the homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions factors lead to weaken concentration fluctuation.

Development of WRF/CUACE v1.0 model and its preliminary application in simulating air quality in China

The development of chemical transport models with advanced physics and chemical schemes could improve air-quality forecasts. In this study, the China Meteorological Administration Unified Atmospheric Chemistry Environment (CUACE) model, a comprehensive chemistry module incorporating gaseous chemistry and a size-segregated multicomponent aerosol algorithm, was coupled to the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) framework with chemistry (WRF-Chem) using an interface procedure to build the WRF/CUACE v1.0 model. The latest version of CUACE includes an updated aerosol dry deposition scheme and the introduction of heterogeneous chemical reactions on aerosol surfaces. We evaluated the WRF/CUACE v1.0 model by simulating PM2.5, O3, NO2, and SO2 concentrations for January, April, July, and October (representing winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively) in 2013, 2015, and 2017 and comparing them with ground-based observations. Secondary inorganic aerosol simulations for the North China Plain (NCP), Yangtze River Delta (YRD), and Sichuan Basin (SCB) were also evaluated. The model captured well the variations of PM2.5, O3, and NO2 concentrations in all seasons in eastern China. However, it is difficult to accurately reproduce the variations of air pollutants over SCB, due to its deep basin terrain. The simulations of SO2 were generally reasonable in the NCP and YRD with the bias at −15.5 % and 24.55 %, respectively, while they were poor in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) and SCB. The sulfate and nitrate simulations were substantially improved by introducing heterogeneous chemical reactions into the CUACE model (e.g., change in bias from −95.0 % to 4.1 % for sulfate and from 124.1 % to 96.0 % for nitrate in the NCP). Additionally, The WRF/CUACE v1.0 model was revealed with better performance in simulating chemical species relative to the coupled Fifth-Generation Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) and CUACE model. The development of the WRF/CUACE v1.0 model represents an important step towards improving air-quality modeling and forecasts in China.

Study on the Sensitivity of Summer Ozone Density to the Enhanced Aerosol Loading over the Tibetan Plateau

The existence of the Asian tropopause aerosol layer (ATAL) and the influence of the heterogeneous chemistry of aerosols on the summer ozone valley over the Tibetan Plateau have received continuous attention. In this paper, based on the established box model of the heterogeneous chemical reactions of stratospheric ozone and comparative simulation and sensitivity tests, the influence of heterogeneous chemical reactions of possible aerosols over the Tibetan Plateau on the ozone valley is analyzed and evaluated. The preliminary results show that from May to August, the change in the temperature and pressure field has little effect on the ozone valley, and the lower the temperature is, the higher the ozone concentration. The temperature itself has a negative correlation with ozone chemistry. The influence ratio of heterogeneous chemical reactions on the ozone valley from May to August is approximately 0.5–17%, and the maximum in June is approximately 5%. With the decrease in monsoon convection, the influence ratio of heterogeneous chemical reactions increases.

Simultaneous Chemical Reactions Effect on Dispersion of a Solute in Peristaltic Propulsion of a Newtonian Fluid in an Inclined Channel with Wall Properties

In this paper, the dispersion of a solute in the peristaltic propulsion of an incompressible and viscous fluid through a permeable medium under the influence of wall properties with simultaneous homogeneous, heterogeneous chemical reactions in an inclined uniform channel has been studied. The issue is studied through conditions of Taylor’s limit and long wavelength hypothesis. The mean effective coefficient of scattering expression is computed and outcomes are interpreted physically through graphs.

Sulfate sources in carbonaceous aerosol particles in urban atmosphere (on the example of Irkutsk)

According to the monitoring data, it was found that the main source of sulfates in carbonaceous particles in the atmosphere of Irkutsk is sulfur dioxide captured from the air. Their accumulation in the particles is caused by heterogeneous chemical reactions (GHR) and is accompanied by the replacement of hydrocarbonates (HCO3 –) with sulfate anions. In this case, sulfur dioxide is oxidized by ozone in the dry atmosphere, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) also participates in the humid, along with dissolved ozone, during the oxidation of sulfur dioxide. The details of the mechanisms of these GHR are discussed and estimates of the dynamics of the sulphate production in carbonaceous particles are given.
