The power-law reaction rate coefficient for an elementary bimolecular reaction

Abstract

The power-law TST reaction rate coefficient for an elementary bimolecular reaction is studied when the reaction takes place in a nonequilibrium system with power-law distributions. We derive a generalized TST rate coefficient, which not only depends on a power-law parameter but also on the reaction coordinate frequency of transition state. The numerical analyses show a very strong dependence of TST rate coefficient on the power-law parameter, and clearly indicate that a tiny deviation from unity in the parameter (thus from the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution) would result in significant changes in the rate coefficient. We take an elementary F+H2 reaction as an application example to calculate the reaction rate coefficient, and yield the rate values being exactly agreement with the measurement values in all the experimental studies in temperature range 190~765K.
