J. Gorecki, ON A PHENOMENOLOGICAL MODEL FOR NONEQUILIBRIUM INTERACTION BETWEEN THERMALLY ACTIVATED CHEMICAL-REACTIONS, The Journal of chemical physics, 98(9), 1993, pp. 7269-7276
A simple phenomenological model for time dependent nonequilibrium effe
cts associated with a thermally activated chemical reaction is applied
to describe the nonequilibrium coupling between many competing reacti
ons. A good agreement with the results of molecular dynamics simulatio
ns for a system with two competing reactions has been obtained. An ana
lytical formula, which estimates the strength of nonequilibrium effect
s, is derived.
