Thermodynamic analysis of chemically reacting mixtures – comparison of first and second order models

Pekař, Miloslav

Abstract

Recently, a method based on non-equilibrium continuum thermodynamics which derives thermodynamically consistent reaction rate models together with thermodynamic constraints on their parameters was analyzed using a triangular reaction scheme. The scheme was kinetically of the first order. Here, the analysis is further developed for several first and second order schemes to gain a deeper insight into the thermodynamic consistency of rate equations and relationships between chemical thermodynamic and kinetics. It is shown that the thermodynamic constraints on the so-called proper rate coefficient are usually simple sign restrictions consistent with the supposed reaction directions. Constraints on the so-called coupling rate coefficients are more complex and weaker. This means more freedom in kinetic coupling between reaction steps in a scheme, i.e., in the kinetic effects of other reactions on the rate of some reaction in a reacting system. When compared with traditional mass-action rate equations, the method allows a reduction in the number of traditional rate constants to be evaluated from data, i.e., a reduction in the dimensionality of the parameter estimation problem. This is due to identifying relationships between mass-action rate constants (relationships which also include thermodynamic equilibrium constants) which have so far been unknown.

The e o e, simila ly as in he p eceding iangula example, we will es ic ou discussion o he simpli ied polynomial. This also enables compa ison wi h adi ional mass-ac ion kine ics. Thus, we pu k0002 =k0011 =k1001 =k0101 =0.

Also in his case we can de i e addi ional cons ain s on he a e cons an s o he adi ional mass-ac ion kine ic model o scheme (R4)—see Supplemen a y Ma e ial o de ails on his p ocedu e.

Thus, he dimensionali y o pa ame e es ima ion p oblems is educed by wo.
