Syllabus -
  • The limits of the application of some thermodynamic quantities (e.g. temperature, entropy, chemical potential) to the living systems and their compartments, e.g. membranes, cells, muscles, bones, etc.
  • Balance laws of mass, momentum, electrical and magnetic induction, energy and entropy.
  • Chemical kinetics and chemical thermodynamics.
  • Non-equilibrium thermodynamics, Prigogin's principle of the minimum entropy production.
