In the limit of small pressure perturbations, any kinetic equation modeling the response of a catalyst surface can be reduced to first order. Following Yasuda s derivation C, the system can be described by a set of functions which describe the dependence of pressure, coverage amplitude, and phase on T, P, and frequency. After a mass balance, the equations can be separated Into real and Imaginary terms to yield a real response function, RRF, and an Imaginary response function, IRF ... 

The authors latest work on turbulence modeling of multiphase flow is via PDF methods based on the recent kinetic equation model of Pozorski and Minier [106]. This model is being applied for PDF modeling of evaporating droplets, the results of which will be appraised via comparative assessments against the DNS data bank [96-101] and laboratory data. 

Numerical models of conserved order-parameter evolution and of nonconserved order-parameter evolution produce simulations that capture many aspects of observed microstructural evolution. These equations, as derived from variational principles, constitute the phase-field method [9]. The phase-field method depends on models for the homogeneous free-energy density for one or more order parameters, kinetic assumptions for each order-parameter field (i.e., conserved order parameters leading to a Cahn-Hilliard kinetic equation), model parameters for the gradient-energy coefficients, subsidiary equations for any other fields such as heat flow, and trustworthy numerical implementation.

With the fomi of free energy fiinctional prescribed in equation (A3.3.52). equation (A3.3.43) and equation (A3.3.48) respectively define the problem of kinetics in models A and B. The Langevin equation for model A is also referred to as the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation (if the noise temi is ignored) the model B equation is often referred to as the Calm-Flilliard-Cook equation, and as the Calm-Flilliard equation in the absence of the noise temi. 

Abstract. A model of the conformational transitions of the nucleic acid molecule during the water adsorption-desorption cycle is proposed. The nucleic acid-water system is considered as an open system. The model describes the transitions between three main conformations of wet nucleic acid samples A-, B- and unordered forms. The analysis of kinetic equations shows the non-trivial bifurcation behaviour of the system which leads to the multistability. This fact allows one to explain the hysteresis phenomena observed experimentally in the nucleic acid-water system. The problem of self-organization in the nucleic acid-water system is of great importance for revealing physical mechanisms of the functioning of nucleic acids and for many specific practical fields. 

One-equation models relax the assumption that production and dissipation of turbulence are equal at all points of the flow field. Some effects of the upstream turbulence are incorporated by introducing a transport equation for the turbulence kinetic energy k (20) given by... 

Recently, a quantitative lateral interaction model for desorption kinetics has been suggested (103). It is based on a statistical derivation of a kinetic equation for the associative desorption of a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, taking into account lateral interactions between nearest-neighbor adatoms in the adsorbed layer. Thereby a link between structural and kinetic studies of chemisorption has been suggested. 

In the present section the general kinetic equation (3.26) will be solved within the Keilson-Storer model for an arbitrary angular momentum correlation [163], We consider here the case of spherical molecules (for linear molecules see Appendix 5). The corresponding initial condition is the equilibrium distribution... 

The present appendix represents a detailed derivation of the kinetic equations of the fluctuating liquid cage model in the classical formalism. A natural generalization is done for the case of partially ordered media, e.g. nematic liquid crystals. One of the simplest ways to take into account the back reaction is demonstrated, namely to introduce friction.

In Fig. 6, the calculated values from the kinetic equation are compared with the experimental data. As can be seen, the kinetic model predicts the experimental data very well. 

In this work, the MeOH kinetic model of Lee et al. [9] is adopted for the micro-channel fluid dynamics analysis. Pressure and concentration distributions are investigated and represented to provide the physico-chemical insight on the transport phenomena in the microscale flow chamber. The mass, momentum, and species equations were employed with kinetic equations that describe the chemical reaction characteristics to solve flow-field, methanol conversion rate, and species concentration variations along the micro-reformer channel.

To further substautiate these insights for the ORR mechanism, Wang and co-workers analyzed the four-electron ORR in acidic media using an intrinsic kinetic equation with the free energies of activation and adsorption as the kinetic parameters [Wang JX et al., 2007]. The kinetic model consisted of four essential elementary reactions ... 

During the lifetime of a root, considerable depletion of the available mineral nutrients (MN) in the rhizosphere is to be expected. This, in turn, will affect the equilibrium between available and unavailable forms of MN. For example, dissolution of insoluble calcium or iron phosphates may occur, clay-fixed ammonium or potassium may be released, and nonlabile forms of P associated with clay and sesquioxide surfaces may enter soil solution (10). Any or all of these conversions to available forms will act to buffer the soil solution concentrations and reduce the intensity of the depletion curves around the root. However, because they occur relatively slowly (e.g., over hours, days, or weeks), they cannot be accounted for in the buffer capacity term and have to be included as separate source (dCldl) terms in Eq. (8). Such source terms are likely to be highly soil specific and difficult to measure (11). Many rhizosphere modelers have chosen to ignore them altogether, either by dealing with soils in which they are of limited importance or by growing plants for relatively short periods of time, where their contribution is small. Where such terms have been included, it is common to find first-order kinetic equations being used to describe the rate of interconversion (12). 

Degradation rates were determined for the reported data using a nonlinear regression of conventional first-order kinetic equations. The software used for this fitting procedure was Model Manager, Version 1.0 (Cherwell Scientific, 1999). 

Evolution of the component concentrations in the two phases of the bioreactor are modeled by using an iteractive program (Runge-Kutta). All the kinetic equations and the experimentally determined constants are introduced into the program. The mass balance equation is included. 

In algebraic equation models we also have the special situation of conditionally linear systems which arise quite often in engineering (e.g., chemical kinetic models, biological systems, etc.). In these models some of the parameters enter in a linear fashion, namely, the model is of the form,... 

An exhaustive statistical description of living copolymers is provided in the literature [25]. There, proceeding from kinetic equations of the ideal model, the type of stochastic process which describes the probability measure on the set of macromolecules has been rigorously established. To the state Sa(x) of this process monomeric unit Ma corresponds formed at the instant r by addition of monomer Ma to the macroradical. To the statistical ensemble of macromolecules marked by the label x there corresponds a Markovian stochastic process with discrete time but with the set of transient states Sa(x) constituting continuum. Here the fundamental distinction from the Markov chain (where the number of states is discrete) is quite evident. The role of the probability transition matrix in characterizing this chain is now played by the integral operator kernel ... 

The kernel (26) and the absorbing probability (27) are controlled by the rate constants of the elementary reactions of chain propagation kap and monomer concentrations Ma(x) at the moment r. These latter are obtainable by solving the set of kinetic equations describing in terms of the ideal kinetic model the alteration with time of concentrations of monomers Ma and reactive centers Ra.
