A class of reactive Euler-type equations derived from the kinetic theory of chemical
reactions is presented and a finite-volume scheme for such problem is developed. The proposed
method is based on a flux-vector splitting approach and it is second-order in space and time. The
final non-linear problem coming from the discretization has a characteristic block diagonal structure
that allows a decoupling in smaller subproblems. Finally, a set of numerical tests shows interesting
behaviors in the evolution of the space-dependent fluid-dynamic fields driven by chemical reactions,
not present in previous space homogeneous simulations.
