Description

Calculating how long a coupled multispecies reactive-diffusive transport process in a heterogeneous medium takes to effectively reach steady state is important in many applications. In this paper, we show how the time required for such processes to transition to within a small specified tolerance of steady state can be calculated accurately without having to solve the governing time-dependent model equations. Our approach is valid for general first-order reaction networks and an arbitrary number of species. Three numerical examples are presented to confirm the analysis and investigate the efficacy of the approach. A key finding is that for sequential reactions our approach works better provided the two smallest reaction rates are well separated.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
