Calorimetry and thermodynamic aspects of heterotrophic, mixotrophic, and phototrophic growth

Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison

A simple stoichiometric model is proposed linking the biomass yield to the enthalpy and Gibbs energy changes in chemo-heterotrophic, mixotrophic, and photo-autotrophic microbial growth. A comparison with calorimetric experiments on the algae Chlorella vulg ...

Lagrange Equations Coupled to a Thermal Equation: Mechanics as Consequence of Thermodynamics

Sylvain Bréchet, Christian Gruber

Following the analytic approach to thermodynamics developed by Stuckelberg, we study the evolution equations of a closed thermodynamic system consisting of point particles in a fluid. We obtain a system of coupled differential equations describing the mech ...
