Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Irreversible Processes

约翰·罗斯教授得到了理论和计算化学项目的资助，负责对非线性系统特有的不可逆过程进行实验和理论研究。罗斯将在非线性化学体系的一般领域进行理论和实验研究。将在四个主要领域进行研究：1)不可逆过程的热力学和随机分析；2)膜上的化学结构和化学波；3)化学计算元件的理论和实验公式(化学图灵机)；以及4)延迟测量在振荡化学反应分类中的应用。这项研究将为振荡化学反应、膜上的化学波和不可逆的传输过程(如质量扩散、热传导和粘性流动)提供重要的物理和化学见解。

Professor John Ross is supported by a grant from the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Program to perform experimental and theoretical studies on irreversible processes which are characteristic of nonlinear systems. Ross will pursue both theoretical and experimental research in the general area of nonlinear chemical systems. Research will be performed in four major areas: 1) Thermodynamic and stochastic analyses of irreversible processes; 2) Chemical structures and chemical waves on membranes; 3) Theoretical and experimental formulation of chemical computing elements (a chemical Turing machine); and 4) Use of delay measurements in the classification of oscillatory chemical reactions. %%% This research will provide important physical and chemical insights regarding oscillating chemical reactions, chemical waves on membrance, and irreversible transport processes such as mass diffusion, thermal conduction and viscous flow.
