Apoptosis and the laws of thermodynamics
Nature Cell Biology, 2000The 'chemiosmotic hypothesis', formulated in the 1960s, revolutionized the study of the mitochondrion and made it accessible to thermodynamic analysis. The central aspect of the hypothesis is that the energy from electron transport is transduced into a proton electrochemical gradient (Δp) across the inner membrane, and that protons re-entering the ...

The first and second laws of thermodynamics
The Physics of Fluids, 2019This article summarizes an alternative approach to the formulation of the laws of thermodynamics by making use of the conservation equations of transport phenomena.

The zeroth law of thermodynamics
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1986We discuss a convenient formulation of the most intuitive property of equilibrium, the zeroth law of thermodynamics, in terms of conditions of dynamical stability for a system which may interact (weakly) with its surroundings. This allows us to provide a completely rigorous, though elementary, justification of the Gibbs canonical ensemble as the ...

Historical Observations on Laws of Thermodynamics
, 2010Most textbooks quote four anonymous laws of thermodynamics (zeroth, first, second, and third), but it seems that every author has their own idiosyncratic statements. Why are there so many versions?

Crystals have fascinated us for centuries with their beauty and symmetry, and have often been invested with magical powers. The development of X-ray diffraction heralded the scientific study of crystals, leading to an understanding of their atomic ...

In the previous chapter, we learned the basic concepts of thermodynamics. Now, we are ready to discuss what a system can do and what changes it can undergo with the heat that it receives. Thermodynamics is the science that deals with systems that exchange heat and work with their environment. It is a phenomenological (experimental) science; it makes no

Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
Nature, 1973 IT is widely realised that there is no single and uniquely correct statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics but rather that there exist a number of different and mutually compatible, correct statements1 (Everett2 mentions “two or three dozen”) each of which illuminates a different facet of what H. A.

Law of Thermodynamics: Thermodynamic Functions
2009Usually, when we speak of the laws of thermodynamics, we have in mind its three laws. In fact, there are four laws of thermodynamics. One of them is the zeroth law. This law is expressed in the form of the second postulate (see Sect. 1.1) and is a law about temperature.
