Abstract
A two-temperature nonequilibrium model of a linear polymer with possible formation of hydrogen bonds between monomers is proposed. A molecule is considered to be in an adiabatic stationary state far from equilibrium. The dependence of the mean-square distance between the chain ends on the number of monomers is calculated with the simplest approach of Flory in case T > Θ.
