Bond graph modelling for chemical reactors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a bond graph model of a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor which represents the reaction kinetics as well as the heat and mass transport phenomena in the reactor.

Convective variational approach to relativistic thermodynamics of dissipative fluids

TL;DR: In this paper, a new category of relativistic thermodynamic models is developed for the systematic representation of viscous conducting fluid media (allowing for several independent charged or neutral chemical constituents) using guidelines provided by Noether identities arising from a generalized variation procedure of convective type, and the specification of a particular model is determined just by giving the algebraic dependence a single "master function" on the relevant dynamical variables, which are supposed here to consist of an entropy current 4-vector and a set of particle current 4vectors corresponding to the various chemical constituents, together

Thermodynamics and bioenergetics.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the role of thermodynamics in understanding the coupling between the chemical reactions and the transport of substances in bioenergetics and introduces the basic methods and equations that are used.

Cracks in solids

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply basic ideas and methods of continuum mechanics to the crack propagation process and apply them to the case of fatigue and fluctuation cracks in elastic and rigid-plastic solids.
