The majority of the kinetic models employed in catalytic after-treatment of exhaust emissions use a global kinetic approach owing to the simplicity because one expression can account for all the steps in a reaction. The major drawback of this approach is the limited predictive capabilities of the models. The intrinsic…

This paper discusses the numerical exponential instability of the transfer matrix method (TMM) in the framework of the symmetry formalism. This numerical weakness is attributed to a series of increasingly extreme exponentials that appear in the TMM when it is applied to geometries involving total internal reflection (…

A new sol–gel route has been applied to prepare Al2O3 dense films using Al(NO3)3·9H2O as a raw material and acetylacetone (AcAc) as a chelating agent. The research results show that AcAc and aluminium form a complex compound in the solution, which makes the sol very stable. A small amount of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is…
