Abstract

The volume-averaged rate of a simple, liquid-state isomerisation reaction, initially at room temperature, inside an upright cylindrical container with a perfectly thermally conducting sidewall maintained at a constant elevated temperature has been followed theoretically, both in the presence and in the absence of gravity. Computational fluid dynamics modelling, using the finite-volume method, indicates that the net reaction progresses much faster in the presence of gravity. This accelerated rate of product formation is attributed to the effects of thermal convection currents, which cause more rapid heat transfer to the reaction vessel and are absent under conditions of zero gravity. The influence of natural convection on the spatial patterns of species concentration and of temperature is also illustrated in this article.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
