Effects Of Concentration And Temperature On The Coupled Heat And Mass Transport In Liquid Mixtures, Yasar Demirel, S.I. Sandler Dec 2001

Effects Of Concentration And Temperature On The Coupled Heat And Mass Transport In Liquid Mixtures, Yasar Demirel, S.I. Sandler

YASAR DEMIREL

Using published experimental data on the thermal conductivity, mutual diffusivity, and heats of transport, the degree of coupling between heat and mass flows has been calculated for binary and ternary nonideal liquid mixtures.


Thermodynamics And Bioenergetics, Yasar Demirel Dec 2001

Thermodynamics And Bioenergetics, Yasar Demirel

YASAR DEMIREL

Bioenergetics is concerned with the energy conservation and conversion processes in a living cell, particularly in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. This review summarizes the role of thermodynamics in understanding the coupling between the chemical reactions and the transport of substances in bioenergetics. Thermodynamics has the advantages of identifying possible pathways, providing a measure of the efficiency of energy conversion, and of the coupling between various processes without requiring a detailed knowledge of the underlying mechanisms. In the last five decades, various new approaches in thermodynamics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and network thermodynamics have been developed to understand the transport and …
