Thermodynamic analysis of photosynthesis

Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, 1994
A green plant can be viewed as a control volume in which exergy from solar radiation is convened into the exergy of photosynthetic products. Even today a portion of the world's exergy requirements come from biomass. Thus, after some considerations about the exergy value of black radiation and of solar energy, the main purpose of this paper is an ...

Thermodynamic Analysis and Thermodynamic Efficiency of Chemical Reactors

The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2006
In this paper, conditions of minimal dissipation for processes occurring in chemical reactors with a given duration and a given degree of transformation are obtained. It is demonstrated that the derived entropy production can be used to construct the space of realizable (thermodynamically feasible) regimes of a chemical reactor.

Thermodynamic Approaches in Flux Analysis

2020
Networks of reactions inside the cell are constrained by the laws of mass and energy balance. Constrained-based modelling (CBM) is the most used method to describe the mass balance of metabolic network. The main key concepts in CBM are stoichiometric analysis such as elementary flux mode analysis or flux balance analysis.

A thermodynamic analysis of fibrillar polymorphism

Biophysical Chemistry, 2010
We explore the thermodynamic properties of three different fibrils of the peptide hormone glucagon, formed under different salt conditions (glycine, sulfate and NaCl, respectively), and differing considerably in compactness. The three fibrils display a large variation in the specific heat capacity DeltaC(p) determined by isothermal titration ...

Thermodynamic Analysis of Arsenic Methylation

Environmental Science & Technology, 2005
The Challenger mechanism for the methylation of arsenic is a repeating sequence of a two-electron reduction of pentavalent arsenic As(V) species to trivalent arsenic As(III) species followed by a methylation-oxidation reaction forming the successive methyl As(V) species.

Thermodynamic analysis of growth ofMethanobacterium thermoautotrophicum

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1999
Growth of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, an anaerobic archaebacterium using methanogenesis as the catabolic pathway, is characterized by large heat production rates, up to 13 W g-1, and low biomass yields, in the order of 0.02 C-mol mol-1 H2 consumed.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Multicomponent Solutions

1964
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses thermodynamic analysis of multicomponent solutions. An exhaustive consideration of the properties of solutions and theory of electrolytes requires a treatise far beyond the scope of this chapter, in which one shall be concerned primarily with only certain thermodynamic problems specifically implied by the ...

A Thermodynamic Analysis of Multistage Adiabatic CAES

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2012
Adiabatic compressed air energy storage (A-CAES) represents a valuable and environmentally friendly option for massive energy storage. Existing examples of CAES refer to underground storage at medium pressure level. But for widespread utilization, independent from the availability of underground storage volumes, artificial reservoirs would be required.

Thermodynamic analysis of biomolecular interactions

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 1999
Direct measurement of the thermodynamics of biomolecular interactions is now relatively easy. Interpretation of these thermodynamics in simple molecular terms is not. Recent work shows how the multiplicity of weak noncovalent interactions, and the inevitable enthalpy/entropy compensation that these interactions engender, lead to difficulties in teasing
