Lo ‘PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY he coefficient of mass flow associated with temperature gradient. We shall see below that stationary states may be characterized by an extremum principle which states that in the stationary sate, the enteopy production has its minimum value compatible with some auxiliary conditions to be specified ii each case. Thus, we shal derive a equti (Eq: 146) which would specify the condition that the entropy production is a minimum fora given value of Xp. Using Ege. 141 and 142 and the ‘Onsager reciprocal relation L1pL, the estropy production becomes Bo iyXh + 2p KaXy + In¥ > 0 Al) Taking te derivative of Eq, 41 with expt to Xq at cot Xy , we have 2 (as) ie (28) = 2 ciate take) = Mn 49) In the steady ste, Jy=0, which means hat te feof eazopy production bas an extemsm ia the state. This extreaum Is a minimum as can be shown by taking the second derivative. Sine inthe steady state, (B/0Kq) (dSldt)=0 (as shown above), we have Beg (He) (a conta X3) 2a (aka + Lake 0) =n 49) Since Uy is postive, the second derivative is aso positive so thatthe extremum is minimum. ‘This statement furnisies the mathematical statement of Priggine’s principle of minimum entropy production according to which, atthe steady state, all the flows corresponding to restricted forces vanish, Iya Prigogine (1917-2003), the Belgian theoretical chemist, was awarded the 1977 Chemistry [Nobel Prize for his conteibutions to non-equiibeium thermodynamics. ‘The above argument can be generalized tothe case ofm independent ants X, ...

The itevecsible processes ocurring lnside the system deereate the rte of entropy production ul this rte becomes rinimum, When the system is in this nonequilibrium steady state, it cannot by itself come out of it despite being a Spontaneous ireversible state. If some fluctuations occur which disturb the syste from the steady state, the internal changes will our so as to bring it back to the steady stat Application of Irreversible Thermodynamics to Biological Systems Biological systems are open systems which exchange both mater and energy withthe environment. ‘Tee growth of a living organism or cell is characterized by transitions resulting in greater order and thus decrease of entropy from the intial sate, Recall that for an isolated system, spontaneous change results in an increase of entropy and heave of disorder. Thus, if we treat a biological system as an ated system, rather than as an open system, then it appears to violate the basic principles of ‘hermoxfynamic. The theory of stationary non-equilibrium states leads to a beter understanding ofthe ‘slobal behavior of tving organisms, IRREVERSIBLE THERMODYNAMIES , 1361 ‘The evolution ofthe living organism upo the saoary sate may be considered as taking pice under a numberof constraints determine by the ouse word, constsns such ate concentrations of some subsances inthe ous word whieh ae trasfrmed inside the ving ergansms Regards ofthe nau of the constant parameters, th atoary Sate may be regarded se ste of minima etry production per unit tine.

Sucheffets, which may be considered to be ‘o0-tnar, introduce complications in the general weatmedt of the hetmodynamics of irreversible proces since they desitoy the lear phenomenological equations or transform the macroscopic ‘equals of change into non-linear equations.
