Kinetic equation inhomogeneous

On inhomogeneous surfaces where adsorption obeys the Temkin isotherm, an exponential factor will appear in the kinetic equation ... 

As pointed out in the foregoing, there are two specific peculiarities qualitatively distinguishing these systems from the classical ones. These peculiarities are intramolecular chemical inhomogeneity of polymer chains and the dependence of the composition of macromolecules X on their length l. Experimental data for several nonclassical systems indicate that at a fixed monomer mixture composition x° and temperature such dependence of X on l is of universal character for any concentration of initiator and chain transfer agent [63,72,76]. This function X(l), within the context of the theory proposed here, is obtainable from the solution of kinetic equations (Eq. 62), supplemented by thermodynamic equations (Eq. 63). For heavily swollen globules, when vector-function F(X) can be presented in explicit analytical form... 

This is the kinetic equation for a simple A/AX interface model and illustrates the general approach. The critical quantity which will be discussed later in more detail is the disorder relaxation time, rR. Generally, the A/AX interface behaves under steady state conditions similar to electrodes which are studied in electrochemistry. However, in contrast to fluid electrolytes, the reaction steps in solids comprise inhomogeneous distributions of point defects, which build up stresses at the boundary on a small scale. Plastic deformation or even cracking may result, which in turn will influence drastically the further course of any interface reaction. 

The traditional apparatus of statistical physics employed to construct models of physico-chemical processes is the method of calculating the partition function [17,19,26]. The alternative method of correlation functions or distribution functions [75] is more flexible. It is now the main method in the theory of the condensed state both for solid and liquid phases [76,77]. This method has also found an application for lattice systems [78,79]. A new variant of the method of correlation functions - the cluster approach was treated in the book [80]. The cluster approach provides a procedure for the self-consistent calculation of the complete set of probabilities of particle configurations on a cluster being considered. This makes it possible to take account of the local inhomogeneities of a lattice in the equilibrium and non-equilibrium states of a system of interacting particles. In this section the kinetic equations for wide atomic-molecular processes within the gas-solid systems were constructed. 

Eq. (28) are used initially for obtaining the kinetic equations for condensed phase processes. Let us discuss a fairly general case for the theory of surface processes and assume the lattice to be inhomogeneous and the radius of the adspecies interaction pair potential to be equal to R (R> 1). 

In this section, we look at a kinetic equation for the velocity NDF n t, x, v), where v = ( , v) is a two-component velocity vector (i.e. the velocity phase space is two-dimensional). In order to show the dynamics for different amounts of particle-particle collisions, we will use the BGK collision model. (See Chapter 6 for more details on collision models.) The inhomogeneous kinetic equation for this case is... 

Here we apply the finite-volume scheme to simulate two different examples of inhomogeneous kinetic equations. The first example is a non-equilibrium Riemann shock problem with different values of the collision time t. The second example is two ID crossing jets with different collision times. In reality, the collision time is controlled by the number density Moo, which we normalize with respect to unity in these examples. Thus, the reader can interpret the different values of t as different values of the unnormalized number density. As noted above, for the multi-Gaussian quadrature we compute the spatial fiuxes using Ml = 14 and Mo = 4 with a CFL number of unity.

In conclusion, we have shown that the neutral response approach can be extended to inhomogeneous, space-dependent reaction-diffusion systems. For labeled species (tracers) that have the same kinetic and transport properties as the unlabeled species, there is a linear response law even if the transport and kinetic equations of the process are nonlinear. The susceptibility function in the linear response law is given by the joint probability density of the transit time and of the displacement position vector. For illustration we considered the time and space spreading of neutral mutations in human populations and have shown that it can be viewed as a natural linear response experiment. We have shown that enhanced (hydrodynamic) transport due to population growth may exist and developed a method for evaluating the position of origin of a mutation from experimental data. 

In this analysis the homogeneous limit cycle appearing for b >b is not affected by the convective term,which,however,modifies the inhomogeneous phase dynamics. Effectively, the adiabatic elimination of the amplitude of the oscillations ( A = R expiW) leads to the following kinetic equation for the phase W ...
