Abstract
A simple phenomenological method, which assumes that different reagent s in a chemical system may be characterized by different temperatures, is applied to calculate the nonequilibrium effects in a system with t wo competing reactions. The results are compared with molecular dynami cs simulations of a model thermally activated reaction and good agreem ent between both methods is observed. The limiting case of a large mas s ratio between different reactants (Lorentz gas) is discussed.
