The principle of minimum rate of entropy production is applied to steady-state transport processes in the neighborhood of an alloy crystal face growing into its melt. The procedure gives a satisfactory rationale of observed interface morphology. It is noted that segregation, which occurs in cellular or dendritic growth of alloys, is a direct manifestation of the system's attempt to minimize entropy production by conserving free energy. The general problems of growth of pure and impure single crystals from the melt and vapor are discussed.

This paper presents a numerical study on the transport of ions and ionic solution in human corneas and the corresponding influences on corneal hydration. The transport equations for each ionic species and ionic solution within the corneal stroma are derived based on the transport processes developed for electrolytic solutions, whereas the transport across epithelial and endothelial membranes is modelled by using phenomenological equations derived from the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. Numerical examples are provided for both human and rabbit corneas, from which some important features are highlighted.

Initial Stage

The coupled model is presented to describe the elements penetration into the surface layer of metal during the process of ion implantation. Mechanical stresses arising due to the interaction of particles with the surface affect the redistribution of the implanted impurity. In addition, the existence of vacancies in the metal surface and their generation under the stresses influence are taken into account. The kinetic law is written on the basis of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The solution had been found numerically. As a result, the distributions of impurity concentration and deformations have been obtained for various time moments. The comparison of the concentration profiles with vacancies and without their have been given.

Active Channel

The flows of sodium, potassium, and chloride under electrical and chemical gradients and of salt and water in the presence of osmotic pressure gradients are described by phenomenological equations based on the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The aim was to give the simplest possible description, that is to postulate the least number of active transport processes and the least number of separate pathways across the intestine. On this basis, the results were consistent with the following picture of the intestine: Two channels exist across this tissue, one allowing only passive transport of ions and the other only active. In the passive channel, the predominant resistance to ion flow is friction with the water in the channel. The electroosmotic flow indicates that the passive channel is lined with negative fixed charged groups having a surface charge density of 3000 esu cm-2. The values of the ion-water frictional coefficients, and the relationship between ionic concentrations and flows indicate that the passive channel is extracellular. The active channel behaves as two membranes in series, the first membrane being semipermeable but allowing active transport of sodium, and the second membrane being similar to the passive channel. Friction with the ions in the second "membrane" is the predominant resistance to water flow.

The Universe

The standard cosmological model suggests that after the “Big Bang”, 14 billion of years ago, the universe entered a period of expansion and cooling. In the first one millionth of a second appear quarks, glúons, electrons and neutrinos, followed by the appearance of protons and neutrons. In this paper, we describe the “cosmic battle” between gravitation and energy, responsible for the lighter chemical elements and the formation of the stars. We describe the thermodynamics of irreversible processes of systems which are far away from equilibrium, a route that is followed by the universe, seen as a living system.
