Second law efficiency for living cells.

چکیده
The exergetic analysis of the biosystems is developed. It takes into account that cells are able to convert only part of the energy absorbed. The result is to highlight the fundamental role of the exergy as a quantity useful to develop considerations on the cells behavior in relation to normal or disease states.

The Numerical Exergy Analysis of H2/Air Combustion with Detailed Chemical Kinetic Simulation Model
Energy and exergy concepts come from thermodynamics laws and are applicable to all fields of science and engineering. This study considers numerical simulations of combustion of hydrogen with air in a constant pressure environment and exergy terms according to first and second laws analysis using homemade code. Chemical kinetic model includes 20 reactions and 9 species. At the first stage of p...
متن کاملEnergy and Second Law of Thermodynamics Analysis of Shower Cooling Tower with Variation in Inlet Air Temperature
A shower cooling tower (SCT) operates without fill because of salt decomposition on the fill that leads to deterioration of conventional cooling tower performance. This study presents a two-dimensional mathematical model for energy and exergy analysis of multi-diameter droplets and air interaction along with the height of the forced draft SCT, to predict the exit condition of water droplet for ...
متن کاملCriminal Challenges of Removal of Organs from Living Donors for Transplantation
Organ transplantation in Iran like many other countries is accepted as the last therapeutic method for patients with end-stage organ failure. Sources of transplantable organs include living and deceased/brain dead donors, among which a considerable number of organs for transplant are obtained from living donors. Removal of organs from deceased and brain dead donors for transplantation is allowe...
متن کاملCan the second law of thermodynamics hold in cell cultures?
Citation: Selvarajoo K (2015) Can the second law of thermodynamics hold in cell cultures? Front. Genet. 6:262. Living systems have the ability to adapt and self-organize when challenged with drastic environmental changes. The remarkable characteristic of plasticity and collectivity allow them to evolve and survive over billions of years in a rather unpredictable manner. Observing and studying t...

Since ordinary gas turbine cycles in actual condition comprise simple cycle, regenerative cycle, reheat cycle and intercooler cycle between high pressure and low pressure compressors, these cycles include 16 combined cycles by combining with a Rankine cycle that consists of three organic fluids and steam. In the present work, the thermodynamic analysis of the above combined cycles with three or...
