This paper investigates the dynamics of a first-order irreversible phase transition (FOIPT) in the ZGB model, focusing on finite-time effects. The study uses numerical simulations with a time-dependent parameter (carbon monoxide pressure) to observe the transition and compare the results with existing literature. The significance lies in understanding how the system behaves near the transition point under non-equilibrium conditions and how the transition location is affected by the time-dependent parameter.
Key Takeaways
- •Investigates finite-time effects in a first-order irreversible phase transition.
- •Uses numerical simulations with a time-dependent parameter.
- •Focuses on the ZGB model for catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide.
- •Identifies and precisely measures the location of a dynamic phase transition.
- •Compares results with existing literature.
