Reaction Network Graph

According to Eq. (35), the adsorption/desorption steps, i.e., si, S2, S3 and S5 must be connected in series. These steps, however, should be located at different places in the reaction network. Namely, the adsorption steps and S2 constitute the starting point, node ni, while desorption steps S3 and S5 constitute the terminus, node ng. 

Which is the QSS condition for the adsorbed water, H2OS, i.e., adsorbed water is formed in S2 and consumed in se and S14. Hence, at this point, node H2, the reaction 

consider the pathways producing/consuming H2S. The combination of Eqs. 

This relation, in fact, expresses the interrelation between HS and H2S, node ris, i.e., HS that is formed in sg is transformed into H2S via 54, Sis and j n. 

Consider further the consumption/production pathways of OHS. From Eq. (36) we have

The complete reaction network graph obtained in this manner is shown in Fig. 3. An inspection reveals that the reaction network involves all of the direct RRs (including ERs) enumerated above using the conventional algorithm (Table 1)... 

The Flory principle is one of two assumptions underlying an ideal kinetic model of any process of the synthesis or chemical modification of polymers. The second assumption is associated with ignoring any reactions between reactive centers belonging to one and the same molecule. Clearly, in the absence of such intramolecular reactions, molecular graphs of all the components of a reaction system will contain no cycles. The last affirmation concerns sol molecules only. As for the gel the cyclization reaction between reactive centers of a polymer network is quite admissible in the framework of an ideal model.

In the chemical reaction networks that we study, there is no small parameter with a given distribution of the orders of the matrix nodes. Instead of these powers of we have orderings of rate constants. Furthermore, the matrices of kinetic equations have some specific properties. The possibility to operate with the graph of reactions (cycles surgery) significantly helps in our constructions. Nevertheless, there exists some similarity between these problems and, even for... 

A multiscale system where every two constants have very different orders of magnitude is, of course, an idealization. In parametric families of multiscale systems there could appear systems with several constants of the same order. Hence, it is necessary to study effects that appear due to a group of constants of the same order in a multiscale network. The system can have modular structure, with different time scales in different modules, but without separation of times inside modules. We discuss systems with modular structure in Section 7. The full theory of such systems is a challenge for future work, and here we study structure of one module. The elementary modules have to be solvable. That means that the kinetic equations could be solved in explicit analytical form. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of reaction networks. These conditions are presented constructively, by algorithm of analysis of the reaction graph. 

The purpose of this chapter is to review and discuss the uses of graphs in the study of chemical and particularly electrochemical reaction networks. Such reaction networks are defined by (often elementary) reaction steps, and in turn the total chemical process associated with a given set of reaction steps is its reaction network. Such a network should normally determine at least one overall reaction. Certain steps in a given reaction network may occur at specified locations, and the overall process may involve transport between these locations. Graphs have long been used in various ways to clarify all of these concepts. 

In what follows, any graph used to study a reaction network will be termed a reaction graph. Although there have been many such uses over the years, there are three general categories which largely cover all uses of graphs ... 

Balandin (1970)16 appears to have used bipartite graphs to study reactions in the 1930s (though his work was not published until much later). Clarke (1980)17 used a type of bipartite graph which he termed a current diagram to study the stability of reaction networks. He found that for a reaction process to be...

Several of the works discussed above include graph-theoretic calculations of, for example, the complexity of a graph. Unfortunately it is not clear in many cases what the implications are for the reaction network for differences in the complexity of various associated graphs, particularly when the differences are small. In some cases, the results seem counterintuitive in that the more complex graph is constructed from the physically more important reaction process. More study is needed of these issues.
