Abstract
This paper describes a new methodology for modeling and simulating
chemical reaction systems using vectors of chemo-bonds, called
multi-chemo-bonds. Chemical reactions are usually described through
mass flows alone. Yet in reality, they are convective flows, as the
reactants carry their volume and heat with them in the reactions.
Each combined mass/volume/heat flow can be described by a chemo-bond.
The combination of all such flows can be described by a vector of
chemo-bonds, i.e., a multi-chemo-bond.
