✦ Synopsis
The disequilibrium between the temperatures (excitation, rotation, vibration, translation) in plasmas lead us to specific chemical potentials. Then, they are used to develop a mass action law in a multitemperature plasma. This mass action law enables us to determine the composition of a pure nitrogen mixture out of thermal equilibrium.
The composition evolution versus time is determined from a kinetic method modified to take into account different temperature hypotheses.
The composition and different thermodynamic properties of a pure nitrogen mixture are given at the chemical equilibrium, then versus time for various temperature hypotheses and thermal disequilibriums.
