The chemical kinetics of hot atoms is studied with a two temperature moment method of solution of the Boltzmann equation. Nonequilibrium time dependent results obtained from the numerical integration of the moment equations are compared with the results obtained with the assumption that the hot atoms are distributed in accordance with a Maxwell–Boltzmann velocity distribution function. The range of validity of the steady state temperature theory is investigated in detail. Extensive calculations of the time evolution of the hot atom velocity distribution function, number density and temperature are presented. These calculations involve the variation of several system variables such as cross sections and mass ratios.
