ON THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF MECHANISMS AND MACHINES

The modern classification of thermodynamic systems considers thermodynamic processes occurring both within thermodynamic systems and between thermodynamic systems. These processes differ in their regularity, which must be taken into account when analyzing the functioning of machines as thermodynamic systems. The article describes the main patterns of processes occurring in thermodynamic systems and their consideration in the operation of various machine designs. thermodynamic properties of machines

The essence of homeostasis and other properties of living organisms: stemming from thermodynamics of biological systems

Homeostasis and its role in the functioning of living organisms as non-equilibrium thermodynamic systems have been carefully investigated. The author tends to prove that homeostasis remains as a desire of a living organism to be closer to an optimal equilibrium thermodynamic state, depending on the conditions of its functioning. Simultaneously, a few definitions are clarified, such as the principle of life activity of living organisms, a living organism, life, the purpose of life, as well as the property of loss and restoration of functions.   CONTINUE READING
