Studying the Regularities of High-Energy Flow Localization in Micro- and Nano-Layers at the Interface of Solid and Liquid Media

Abstract

The paper presents the results of research performed by the modeling method and focusing on the distribution of material and energy flows at the interface of solid and liquid media under non-steady-state conditions. Modeling was performed using the case of two parallel oxidation-reduction reactions that occur under the impact of an external current supply of unlimited power. The identified regularities can be used when designing and arranging specific heterogeneous oxidation-reduction processes, in order to arrange local energy impact, including when one needs to form the nano-structured non-metallic inorganic coatings by microplasma method. Modeling demonstrates that nanosized localization of high-energy flows is possible at the media interface. Depending on pulse duration, the instantaneous energy can exceed the bond energy of chemical compounds. The identified regularities are true for description of non-steady-state heterogeneous oxidation-reduction reactions in chemistry, electrochemistry, catalysis and other areas of science and technology.
