Reciprocal relations for chemical oscillators

Abstract

it was pointed out that for thermal hydrodynamic (cid:29)uctuations in open hydrodynamic steady states (OHSS) the determining factor for derivation of reciprocal relations is not the principle of microscopic reversibility, but the presence or absence of a (cid:29)ux. In the present work this idea is applied to open chemical steady states (OCSS), where chemical oscillations are possible. The behavior of concentration (cid:29)uctuations when there are no macroscopic oscillations yet is considered. The reciprocal relations for such OCSS are found.
