Consideration of initial correlations of the same type in reactions A+B ->B and A+B -> C+B

A new method is used to derive the binary non-markovian integro-differentia l kinetic equations of irreversible reactions with respect to initial corre lations of the same type. The source of inhomogeneous integro-differential equation is determined by initial correlations which is in full accord with the properties of kinetic equations of non-equilibrium statistical mechani cs. A procedure is found to reduce the derived equations into the different ial form of the equations of chemical kinetics. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B .V. All rights reserved.
