Using the analysis of the experimental data on partial oxidation of methane as an example, we have shown
that the chemical processes in the inert medium of a reciprocating flow reactor can be modeled with good
accuracy by the standard kinetic scheme for homogeneous processes due to the fact that the gas flow in the
region of combustion is described by two temperatures — the gas and framework temperatures. Such a modification
of the chemical model requires neither changing the recognized mechanism of homogeneous chemistry
nor correcting the volume heat transfer coefficient.

Distinctive features of the operation of an internal-combustion engine burning ethanol-containing fuels have
been studied. It has been shown that the enrichment of gasoline with ethanol tends to diminish the concentrations
of CO and NO in combustion products, with the engine’s fuel efficiency being inevitably degraded due
to the lower volumetric heat of combustion of the blend. The experimentally confirmed technique of blocking
the growth in the concentration of NO in the combustion products of hydrogen-containing fuels by enrichment
of the blend with ethanol has been proposed; the optimum parameters of the three-fuel composition have been
established.

convection heat- and mass-transfer flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting, viscous fluid past an infinite
vertical porous plate with the Hall current and a heat source. The flow is considered under the influence
of a constant suction velocity and a uniform magnetic field applied normally to the flow. The
dimensionless governing equations are solved numerically by the Galerkin finite element method. The effects
of the flow parameters on the primary and secondary velocities, temperature, species concentration, shearing
stresses, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are calculated and presented in figures and tables. The results
obtained show that a decrease in the temperature boundary layer thickness occurs when the Prandtl
number and radiation parameter are increased and an increase in the Schmidt number leads to a decrease in
the concentration boundary layer thickness.
