Microscopic models for chemical thermodynamics (Q2574167)

This paper deals with an infinite particle system dynamics, which includes stochastic chemical kinetics models, the classical Kac model and free space movement. The author studies energy redistribution between two energy types (kinetic and chemical) in different time scales, similar to energy redistribution in the living cell. One example is considered in great detail, where the model provides main formulas of chemical thermodynamics. Actually, the aim of this paper is the same as Part IV of the reviewer's book [From Markov chains to non-equilibrium particle systems. Singapore: World Scientific. 2nd edition (Singapore: World Scientific) (2004; Zbl 1078.60003), (1992; Zbl 0753.60055)].
