CHEME 7130 - Chemical Kinetics and Transport Spring. 4 credits. Letter grades only.
Prerequisite: CHEME 3900 or equivalent.
N. L. Abbot, S. Daniel.
Topics include microscopic and macroscopic viewpoints; connections between phenomenological chemical kinetics and molecular reaction dynamics; reaction cross sections, potential energy surfaces, and dynamics of biomolecular collisions; molecular beam scattering; transition state theory.
