Irreversible thermodynamics of curved lipid membranes.
The theory of irreversible thermodynamics for arbitrarily curved lipid membranes is presented here. The coupling between elastic bending and irreversible processes such as intramembrane lipid flow, intramembrane phase transitions, and protein binding and diffusion is studied. The forms of the entropy production for the irreversible processes are obtained, and the corresponding thermodynamic for...
متن کاملStudy of Uremic Toxin Fluxes Across Nanofabricated Hemodialysis Membranes Using Irreversible Thermodynamics
INTRODUCTION The flux of uremic toxin middle molecules through currently used hemodialysis membranes is suboptimal, mainly because of the membranes' pore architecture. AIM Identifying the modifiable sieving parameters that can be improved by nanotechnology to enhance fluxes of uremic toxins across the walls of dialyzers' capillaries. METHODS We determined the maximal dimensions of endotheli...
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 across a Boundary: Elementary Principles
The commonly used thermodynamic variables are generalized so as to take account of irreversible processes across a thin boundary separating a system from its surroundings. This permits one to relate heat transfer and work performance in irreversible processes to those carried out reversibly. The commonly used functions of state have been generalized to include the contribution of irreversible c...
متن کاملThermoelastkity and Irreversible Thermodynamics
A unified treatment is presented of thermoelasticity by application and further developments of the methods of irreversible thermodynamics. The concept of generalized free energy introduced in a previous publication plays the role of a " thermoelastic potential " and is used along with a new definition of the dissipation function in terms of the time derivative of an entropy displacement. The g...
