Journal ArticleDOI
Flow and streaming potential of an electrolyte in a channel with an axial temperature gradient
Mathias Dietzel,Steffen Hardt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of axial temperature gradient on the flow profile and the induced streaming potential of a pressure-driven symmetric electrolyte in a slit channel is investigated based on the non-isothermal Nernst-Planck equations, as well as the Poisson equation in the lubrication approximation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method of the most probable path of evolution in the theory of stationary irreversible processes
A. A. Filyukov,V. Ya. Karpov +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, nonequilibrium stationary thermodynamic systems are described by stationary random Markov processes with discrete time, for given macroscopic conditions, the condition of maximum path entropy determines the process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscopic dissipative structuring and proliferation at the origin of life
TL;DR: Some fundamental molecules of life are suggested to have been formed, proliferated, and evolved through photochemical microscopic dissipative structuring and autocatalytic proliferation under the UV-C/UV-B solar environment prevalent at Earth’s surface throughout the Archean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of the metabolic enthalpy change in studies of soil microbial activity
TL;DR: In this paper, the metabolic enthalpy change per mole of glucose catabolically consumed by soil microorganisms, ΔHmet, was calculated to explain the changes in the microbial soil activity due to the deforestation and burning suffered by the Amazonian soils.

About Complex Heat Capacities and Temperature-Modulated Calorimetry
H. Baur,Bernhard Wunderlich +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the ramifications of this approach on the basis of irreversible thermodynamics, and concluded that the complex heat capacity is of limited value, even if temperature-modulated calorimetry is accomplished.
