Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics

, 2017
Biological systems are far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Concentration gradients and electrostatic potential differences are the driving forces for diffusive currents and chemical reactions. In this chapter, we present the basic ingredients of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We derive continuity equations for mass and energy.

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics in Cell Biology: Extending Equilibrium Formalism to Cover Living Systems.

Annual Review of Biophysics, 2020
We discuss new developments in the nonequilibrium dynamics and thermodynamics of living systems, giving a few examples to demonstrate the importance of nonequilibrium thermodynamics for understanding biological dynamics and functions.

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and Conformal Field Theory

, 2016
We present a model independent, operator algebraic approach to non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics within the framework of two-dimensional Conformal Field Theory. Two infinite reservoirs in equilibrium at their own temperatures and chemical potentials

Financial and Thermodynamic Equilibrium

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2000
This paper explores general equilibrium asset pricing implications in a two‐period model in which the production side explicitly describes the thermodynamic process unavoidably connected with production. We show that steady state of the production process, i.e.

Potential and flux field landscape theory. II. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of spatially inhomogeneous stochastic dynamical systems.

Journal of Chemical Physics, 2014
We have established a general non-equilibrium thermodynamic formalism consistently applicable to both spatially homogeneous and, more importantly, spatially inhomogeneous systems, governed by the Langevin and Fokker-Planck stochastic dynamics with ...

Geometry and equilibrium thermodynamics

Physics Letters A, 1995
The laws of an equilibrium thermodynamic system Σ consisting of measurable functions represented by points on a connected finite dimensional Gibbsian manifold are rederived using the metric properties of the lattice space. The Euclidean topology associated with the lattice space is examined.

Homochirality as a Consequence of Thermodynamic Equilibrium?

Chemistry – A European Journal, 2006
AbstractRecent results on the crystallisation/dissolution equilibrium of enantiomorphic crystals of NaClO3 lead to the conclusion that liquid‐phase systems composed of achiral or fast racemising compounds yielding enantiomorphic solid phases (racemic conglomerates) can derive spontaneously to a single homochiral solid phase. This is a thermodynamically

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and Physical Kinetics

, 2014
This graduate textbook covers contemporary directions of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics as well as classical methods of kinetics. Starting from phenomenological non-equilibrium thermodynamics, the kinetic equation method discussed and demonstrated
