A thermodynamic-hke approach to the characterization uf product state distribution\ is outlined. A moment analysis of the surpris~l and the entropy deficiency is presented from a statistical mechanical viewpoint. The role ot reactant state selection is discussed using the "state function" property
Our analysis of reacting systems displaced from equilibrium by a matter flux across the boundaries has shown that the state of minimum entropy production differs from the steady state, even in the near equilibrium regime. When the displacement 6 from equilibrium is small, the derivative of the dissi
