Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics

2010
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.

Equilibrium and non-equilibrium approaches in biomembrane thermodynamics

Archives Internationales de Physiologie et de Biochimie, 1987
AbstractThis quotation from a non-technical paper by a respected classic of (bio)membrane thermodynamics (Katchalsky, 1971) was chosen as motto for it suggests the kind of fascination exerted by the abstract and rigorous treatments of thermodynamics, which provide correct descriptions of phenomena, even without knowing the details of the systems in ...

A modified thermodynamic equilibrium model for woody biomass gasification

, 2014
A modified thermodynamic equilibrium model has been developed to improve the prediction of syngas composition produced by the gasification of woody biomass.

Thermodynamics of adsorption equilibrium

Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Division of Chemical Science, 1969
1. The curve which describes the differential free enthalpy of adsorption as a function of its derivative with respect to temperature at a constant degree of coverage is a rather convenient characteristic of adsorption equilibrium determined by the structure of the adsorbent. 2.

Semiconductors in Thermodynamic Equilibrium

1966
In general there are two types of semiconductors. Those in which electrons and holes are produced by thermal generation in pure germanium and silicon are called intrinsic semiconductors. In the other type the current carriers, holes or free electrons, are produced by the addition of small quantities of elements of Group III or V of the Periodic Table ...

Laws of Thermodynamic Equilibrium

2014
In the previous chapters we have reviewed the fundamental properties of the radiation field and those of atomic systems. Before we move on to a quantum description of the interaction between these systems, is it necessary to study, in all generality, their physical characteristics in the particular case of thermodynamic equilibrium.
