Abstract:
Based on the fundamental Bogolyubov chain of equations, a model relating the structural and thermophysical properties of the nonequilibrium liquid systems under irradiation in stationary state is introduced. The obtained results suggest that the thermophysical properties of the liquid systems under irradiation are defined by the "effective temperature" that can be calculated from the perturbed momentum distribution functions of the systems. It is shown that the structural changes in the liquid systems under irradiation are caused by the changes in the coefficients of the Maxwell distribution function due to the momentum exchange between the active particles and the particles forming the liquid. To confirm the theoretical predictions, a qualitative comparison of the model with the existing experimental data on irradiation influence on the surface tension coefficients of liquids is performed.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
