Relaxation of concentration perturbation in chemical kinetic systems

Abstract

In a linear approximation, the relaxation of a concentration perturbation can be described by a matrix exponential, which can be evaluated using Jordan decomposition. In time-scale analysis, this approach has advantages when the Jacobian has degenerate eigenvalues, which may occur when the mechanism contains identical rate constants, characteristic to tropospheric chemistry and low-temperature combustion.
