CHEMICAL CONVERSIONS OF REDUCED CARBON COMPOUNDS AND NITROGEN OXIDES IN THE CRAMPED AERODYNAMIC CONDITIONS OF THE URBAN ATMOSPHERE
The kinetics of chemical transformations of the most significant pollutants in the cramped aerodynamic conditions of the urban atmosphere is considered, i.e. in the gaps between rows of wide buildings with significant height. High concentrations created in those areas lead to sufficiently high values of reaction rates. The process is described by a stiff system of differential equations, the solution of which is performed by Rosenbrock method. The effect of reduced carbon compounds and nitrogen oxides in a wide range of their concentrations on the rate of formation of a highly toxic secondary pollutant is investigated. In the course of numerical experiments, conditions are determined that correspond to its maximum value. In that case, the transfer of substances from the reaction zone does not have time to occur.
