Mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics gives the same thermodynamic basis to butler-volmer and nernst equations

Article Abstract:

Mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics is applied to derive the Butler-Volmer equation, or the stationary state nonlinear relation between the electric current density and the overpotential of an electrode surface. The result is found to be valid for an isothermal electrode with reaction-controlled charge transfer and with equilibrium for the reactant between the adjacent bulk phase and the surface.

Thermodynamics for single-molecule stretching experiments

Article Abstract:

The construction of nonequilibrium thermodynamics for systems too small to be considered thermodynamically in a traditional sense is demonstrated. The validity of nonequibilirium thermodynamics relations is discussed and the nature of dissipation in small systems through the entropy production rate is analyzed.

Unifying thermodynamic and kinetic descriptions of single-molecule processes: RNA unfolding under tension

Article Abstract:

RNA unfolding under tension was described by mesoscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamics theory. It was shown that when such a mesoscopic description is applied to RNA unfolding, the master equation proposed in a kinetic description can be reproduced.
