Irreversible thermodynamics of open chemical networks. I. Emergent cycles and broken conservation laws.
In this paper and Paper II, we outline a general framework for the thermodynamic description of open chemical reaction networks, with special regard to metabolic networks regulating cellular physiology and biochemical functions. We first introduce closed networks "in a box", whose thermodynamics is subjected to strict physical constraints: the mass-action law, elementarity of processes, and det...
متن کاملNew Variational Irreversible Thermodynamics of Open Physical-Chemical Continua
An outline is presented of a new thermodynamics of open chemical systems combined with a principle of virtual dissipation which provides a unified approach in a large domain of continuum physics, including deformable solids and fluid mixtures.
متن کاملViscous Conservation Laws, Part I: Scalar Laws
Viscous conservation laws are the basic models for the dissipative phenomena. We aim at a systematic presentation of the basic ideas for the quantitative study of the nonlinear waves for viscous conservation laws. The present paper concentrates on the scalar laws; an upcoming Part II will deal with the systems. The basic ideas for scalar viscous conservation laws originated from two sources: th...
متن کاملIrreversible Thermodynamics
There are alternative sets of postulates which yield entirely equivalent results for several important theories. In such cases the choice of a particular set of postulates may be based upon mathematical simplicity, close relationship to experiments or to the nature of the theory, or merely personal taste. While the postulate of conservation of energy is usually presented in similar form for the...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Irreversible Processes and the Teaching of Thermodynamics in Chemical Engineering
In this paper the some aspects of the teaching of Irreversible Thermodynamics are discussed, emphasizing relevant concepts needed by the engineering student, and future professional. The irreversible nature of real processes is presented to the student in the introductory level, in place of the more traditional disciplines concentrated on Classical Thermodynamics, which describes systems underg...
