%0 Journal Article %T ON THE NONLINEAR STABILITY OF A BINARY MIXTURE WITH CHEMICAL SURFACE REACTIONS %A Adelina Georgescu %A Lidia Palese %J Mathematics and its Applications : Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists %D 2011 %I Academy of Romanian Scientists Publishing House %X In this work we consider the non linear stability of a chemicalequilibrium of a thermally conducting two component reactive viscousmixture which is situated in a horizontal layer heated from belowand experiencing a catalyzed chemical reaction at the bottom plate.The evolution equation for the perturbation energy is deduced withan approach which generalizes the Joseph¡¯s parametric differentiationmethod. Moreover, the nonlinear stability bound for the chemical equilibrium of the fluid mixture is derived in terms of thermal and concentrational non dimensional numbers. %K Nonlinear Stability %K Horizontal Thermal Convection %K Energy Method %U http://www.mathematics-and-its-applications.com/preview/july2011/data/6_Adelina_Lidia.pdf
