Abstract:

<p>A finite-time fluctuation theorem for the diffsion-influenced surface reaction A B is investigated for spherical and Janus catalytic particles. The finite-time rates and thermodynamic force are analytically calculated by solving diffusion equations with the special boundary conditions of the finite-time fluctuation theorem. Theory is compared with numerical simulations carried out with two different methods: a random walk algorithm and multiparticle collision dynamics. © 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing.
