Ordered state of catalysts surface layers has been recently proposed for -0~s oxidation reactions[l,2] It is known that sunultaneous occurence of a non-lmear chenucti rem9011 and ddGsion may produce penodlc structures (“dlsslpatlve struttures” by Pngozhm [3]) These phenomena have been analyzed m more detail by Barelko rt ul (see, e 8 [4]) The obmve of Uus study IS to explm the appearance of these structures for the catalyhc reachon omdation of CO on Pt

We deal Hnth the object well-known m the theory of non-bnear waves, namely, so called sobtary wave (soliton)[S, 91 This solution corresponds to the case when at 6 -* -Cm one of the stable steady states exists on tbe surface and in a certain region the state approaches another steady state (not reaching it) (Fig 2)
CONCLUSION Existence of the above propemes of system (2), (3) indicates that at simultaneous occurence of a complex catalytic reaction and surface d&sion the appearance of ordered structures, spots, clusters. etc IS possible They may be of pure macroscopic origin The problem of stability of these formations IS beyond tbe scope of this study

Bubble growth in P viscous Newtonian liquid (Accepted 5 March 1980) The problem of diffusion-fed gas bubble growth in a laqtudIS of interest in many areas of engmeermg The parhcular case of such growth in a highly VISCOUSthud has application in polymer foam formation One method of foam formation involves growth of bubbles by dilfusion of blowing agent from an oversaturated solution of the blowing agent in the liquid surrounding the bubbles The oversaturation may be achieved by a lowering of the system pressure, or by some other means A large body of literature exists on the subiect of phase
growth Detailed bibliographies may be found in the works of Scnvenll]. Street et al 121 and Rosner and Epstem[3] Ddfusionfed phase growth in VISCOUSliquids has been treated by Barlow and Ianglo1s[4]. Street et nl [2] and Szekely and Martms[5] Barlow and Langlo~s and Sxekely and Martins treated phase growth in Newtonian liquids wlule Street et al considered growth in an Oshvald-de-Waele power law liquid The analysis of Streef et ol is further complicated by consldenng the liquid surrounding the bubble to bc firutc, the liquid viscosity to vary
