Abstract

The mass-based Maxwell Stefan approach to one-phase multicomponent reactive mixtures is mathematically analyzed. It is shown that the resulting quasilinear, strongly coupled reaction diffusion system is locally well-posed in an L-p-setting and generates a local semiflow on its natural state space. Solutions regularize instantly and become strictly positive if their initial components are all nonnegative and nontrivial. For a class of reversible mass-action kinetics, the positive equilibria are identified: these are precisely the constant chemical equilibria of the system, which may form a manifold. Here the total free energy of the system is employed which serves as a Lyapunov function for the system. By the generalized principle of linearized stability, positive equilibria are proved to be normally stable. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
