Abstract

The crossover time from the early-time regime to the asymptotic regime for the A+B⃗+C reaction-diffusion system with initially separated reactants has been derived analytically by matching the rate expressions for the two regimes. The crossover time expression thus obtained shows an explicit dependence on the rate constant (k) and the initial reactant concentrations (ao, bo). For the A+2B⃗C system we performed computer simulations using two different methods. Crossover behaviors for the global reaction rate and reaction front width have been observed for both methods. The crossover time depends on the mechanism of the reaction.
