  2. 1. Propagation of Chaos for Kac-like Particle Systems

    Author : Dawan Mustafa; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Master equations; chaotic densities; kinetic equations; propagation of chaos; Kac model; thermostatted master equation; Boltzmann equation; BGK equation; quenched process; uniform distribution; spectral gap; approximation process; kinetic equations;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns various aspects of the Kac model. The Kac model is a Markov jump process for a particle system where the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved. This particle model is connected to a limiting equation, describing the evolution of a one-particle density, when the numbers of particles tends to infinity. READ MORE

  4. 2. Developments in the theory of the Prigogine-Herman kinetic equation of vehicular traffic

    Author : Alexandros Sopasakis; Partiella differentialekvationer; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chapman-Enskog expansion; Traffic; Prigogine-Herman; Kinetic equation; Unstable flow;

    Abstract : The nonlinear kinetic equation of Prigogine and Herman is examined in regards to existence and uniqueness of solutions. The solution exists and is unique in the Banach space of bounded continuous functions over a particular subspace Ω. READ MORE

  5. 3. Adsorption of Metallic Ions onto Chitosan : Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies

    Author : Martha Benavente; Joaquín Martínez; Olle Wahlberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adsorption; biosorption; chitin; heavy metals; isotherm; kinetic models; mining; speciation; water treatment; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Equilibrium isotherms and the adsorption kinetics of heavy metals onto chitosan were studied experimentally. Chitosan, a biopolymer produced from crustacean shells, has applications in various areas, particularly in drinking water and wastewater treatment due to its ability to remove metallic ions from solutions.

  6. 4. Kinetic modelling of runaway in plasmas

    Author : Ola Embréus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fokker-Planck equation; synchrotron radiation; plasma; runaway; bremsstrahlung; Boltzmann equation;

    Abstract : The phenomenon of runaway occurs in plasmas in the presence of a strong electric field, which overcomes the collisional friction acting on the charged particles moving through the plasma. A subpopulation of particles can then be accelerated to energies significantly higher than the thermal energy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Kinetic modelling of runaways in plasmas

    Author : Ola Embréus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; runaway; Fokker-Planck equation; tokamak; Boltzmann equation; positrons; bremsstrahlung; plasma; synchrotron radiation;

    Abstract : The phenomenon of runaway occurs in plasmas in the presence of a strong electric field, when the accelerating force overcomes the collisional friction acting on the charged particles moving through the plasma. Electron runaway is observed in both laboratory and space plasmas, and is of great importance in fusion-energy research, where the energetic electrons can damage the plasma-facing components of fusion reactors.
