Nonequilibrium model

For Markov chains with two states 0,1, it turns out that we always have the equality = h so that they are not appropriate to model nonequilibrium processes. 

The governing equations for modelling nonequilibrium phenomenon can be derived, by selecting the appropriate commodity balances (those for all commodities transported and/or produced during the phenomenon) and utilizing the First and Second Laws. 

Building of the adequate model (nonequilibrium thermodynamic approach, polymeric or pseudopolymeric models, fractal analysis, combinations of various methods, etc.). 

The comparisons between DSMC predictions and experimental measurements of UV emission on the BSUV-2 flight provide strong evidence of the ability of the DSMC technique to accurately model nonequilibrium, hypersonic flows. While a great deal of progress has been made, some words of...

In an equilibrium theory, the solvent is in thermal equilibrium with the solute. This is the most common scenario, and the most common to be modelled. Nonequilibrium effects must be considered whenever the timescale for the processes under investigation is less than the time required for solvent equilibration, or if some external force such as a shear stress is being applied. Nonequilibrium effects can be important in the calculation of reaction barrier heights as activated complexes are always short lived, and are essential in calculations of the change in the location of the centre of an electronic absorption band as, according to the Franck-Condon principle, this is viewed as an instantaneous process.
