A thermodynamic principle for the coupled bioenergetic processes of ATP synthesis

TL;DR: In this article, a nonequilibrium thermodynamic description of the coupled bioenergetic processes of ATP synthesis is presented, and it is shown that completely delocalized coupling leads to minimum rate of entropy production in the steady state.

Beyond the no-slip boundary condition

TL;DR: This paper offers a simple macroscopic approach to the question of the slip boundary condition to be imposed upon the tangential component of the fluid velocity at a solid boundary, and develops a general, near-equilibrium linear constitutive relation for the slip velocity of mass along a relatively flat wall bounding a single-component gas or liquid.

Distinguished rheological models for solids in the framework of a thermodynamical internal variable theory

TL;DR: In this article, a thermodynamic theory of rheology with a single internal variable is presented, which is called the Kluitenberg-Verhas body and is the Poynting-Thomson-Zener body with an inertial element.

Irreversible models with Boltzmann–Gibbs probability distribution and entropy production

TL;DR: In this paper, irreversible interacting spin models evolving according to a master equation with spin flip transition rates that do not obey detailed balance but obey global balance with a Boltzmann-Gibbs probability distribution are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phase transition in multicomponent systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-linear constitutive relation with discontinuities across the interphase is considered, and the existence of at least one weak solution is proved, using an a priori estimate based on the second principle of thermodynamics.
