Chemical reaction networks

Abstract
A set of chemical species "interconnected" by reaction pathways is commonly referred to as a chemical network. We show that chemical networks are mathematically equivalent to a class of multiport networks. Hence, abstract circuit theory can be applied to study chemical systems. Both linear-graph and bond-graph representations of reaction networks are presented. We also indicate how network methods can be employed to treat coupled transport and chemical reaction processes.
