Power Dissipation of Uniaxial Anisotropic/Interacting Polar Molecules with Linear Reaction Dynamics in an Alternating Electric Field

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The influence of anisotropic potential energy and interaction between polar molecules on power absorption in chemical reactions with linear reaction dynamics in a weak alternating electric field is studied theoretically according to the reaction-diffusion equation. The expression for transient power loss is derived using two methods, electrodynamic method and equivalent circuit method, based on the electric energy conservation equation. Numerical calculations are carried out, and the results show that both the anisotropic potential energy and the interaction between polar molecules have a strong impact on energy dissipation and storage. For the anisotropic potential energy, when the applied dimensionless anisotropy is equal to 1, the power loss density increases about 32% at a low reaction rate and 27% at a high reaction rate compared to the case without anisotropic potential energy. When the dimensionless anisotropy is equal to -1, the power loss is suppressed and is reduced about 27% and 24% at low and high reaction rates, respectively. On the other hand, for the interaction between polar molecules, the power loss density decreases about 10% and 30% with low and high interaction potential energies, respectively. In addition, if the reaction rate is relatively high, the power loss will quickly decrease due to the end of the reaction process.
