“…The most general thermodynamic nonequilibrium model is the state to state model where each internal state of a molecule is independent and considered as a separate species [28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. When there are partial equilibria between some of these states, species internal energy temperatures can be defined and the complexity of the model is correspondingly reduced [30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. Another example is that of electron temperature in plasmas [38,39,40,41,42,43,44].…”
