Thermodynamics of mixtures of reacting and non-reacting fluids with heat conduction, diffusion and viscosity (Q1371095)

(From author's abstract.) ``The paper considers the thermodynamics, nonlinear chemical kinetics and transport properties (heat conduction, diffusion, viscosity) of a mixture of chemically reacting and non-reacting fluids (non-simple, up to grade 3) with unique temperature. Theses results follow as special cases from the study of an analogous mixture of materials with arbitrary symmetry. We also discuss equilibrium properties apart from properties that could be expected (like zero-heat flow and the reduction of stresses to pressures), and the equilibrium values of the second chemical potentials are shown to be zero in the mixture of reacting fluids.'' In reviewer's opinion, the readers dealing with diffusion processes will find the results interesting. However, the paper is purely mathematical and does not contain any application.
