Gas kinetic model

Although the transition state theory has advantages over collision theories in its generality, avoiding detailed consideration of kinetic mechanism by appeal to thermodynamic principles, it rests upon eqiially weak experimental foundations. However, its flexibility permits applications to reactions in the liquid phase where the gas kinetic model breaks down. In such applications the entropy factor is all-important and may range roughly from 10" to 10+ . 

Applications of Response Surface Techniques to Uncertainty Analysis in Gas Kinetic Models... 

We have already discussed the fact that significant uncertainties can exist in the parameterisation of gas kinetic models and in theoretical calculations of rate coefficients of relevance to gas-phase chemistry. In many applications within gas-phase chemistry, however, the basic structure of the model is reasonably well known or can be suggested using mechanism constructirui protocols such as those...
