Mechanics and Energetics of Biological Transport

This book deals with energetics of transport processes, largely expressed in terms of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. Since at the present time too little is known about the molecular mechanism of transport, the present treatment is based largely on hypothetical models. Care has been taken, however, to define the crucial features of these models as generally as possible, so that the equations do not depend too much on hypotheti­ cal details. Accordingly, most equations, though...
