Far-from-equilibrium gas kinetic theory : reactive systems and sound propagation

There exist many physical situations that involve large departures from thermodynamic equilibrium. These systems may be spatially nonuniform and/or time dependent. Traditional kinetic theory involves a perturbation type of approach that implies small departures from equilibrium. The present thesis...
