Abstract: | Quasi-steady states with a disequilibrium between the gas phase kinetic temperature and the condensed phase internal temperature appear to be the norm of condensation environments in space. Such states may constitute Prigogine dissipative structures.Invited contribution to the Proceedings of a Workshop onThermodynamics and Kinetics of Dust Formation in the Space Medium held at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, 6–8 September, 1978. |
