Modeling of incomplete equilibria in industrial and environmental systems and processes: a theoretical framework

摘要

The paper presents the models of the regions of thermodynamic accessibility and incomplete equilibria in physico-chemical systems that are intended to study diverse industrial and environmental processes. The models are compared with the traditional ones of classical equilibrium thermodynamics. Peculiarities of the presented mathematical problems are analyzed and the ways for devising relevant algorithms are outlined. The gains of the approach suggested are discussed.
