Description

Unimolecular Kinetics: Part 2: Collisional Energy Transfer and the Master Equation, Volume 43 in Elsevier’s Comprehensive Molecular Kinetics series, addresses collision energy transfer and the effects it has on gas phase reactions, particularly at low gas density. Such systems include combustion, industrial gas phase processes and atmospheric/environmental processes. The book also discusses The Master Equation to give a good overview of the mechanics underpinning unimolecular kinetics. This new volume will be of interest to researchers investigating gas phase processes which involve unimolecular reactions and the related intermolecular reactions.

Key features

  • Discusses collision energy transfer and the effects it has on gas phase reactions
  • Introduces stochastic techniques to energy transfer methods, allowing for an extension of the unimolecular theory beyond simple molecular dissociation
  • Draws an important connection between detailed reaction dynamic studies and the rate of coefficient determination

Readership

Chemists with a focus on kinetics, as well as research institutes and industry. Instructors, graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students taking related coursework
