General Representations of KBC

Let us discuss the general structure of the KBC (6.3.2) that includes processes of elastic and inelastic scattering, adsorption-desorption, and surface chemical reactions. 

As long as this kernel becomes a functional of Qc and /c, the KBC becomes nonlinear with respect to the distribution function of gas particles pc- 

Local adsorption - desorption coefficients are related to the corresponding detailed probabilities via 

It is worth noticing here that local adsorption - desorption coefficients used in (6.1.11) had been defined through detailed probabilities Uc c, dc c in the following way 

Separating the nonreactive and reactive mechanisms in direct scattering, adsorption and desorption events yields
