dc.description.abstractAll living structures, from archaea to human, are open thermodynamic systems analysed through nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Nonequilibrium thermodynamics is a field with important applications to life sciences, which is very often left out of life science courses. A three-step method is suggested to make an easy introduction of nonequilibrium thermodynamics to life science students. The first step is to introduce the Prigogine equation dS = deS + diS, and explain the meaning of the entropy exchange with the surroundings deS and internal entropy generation in the system diS. The second step is to show that the Prigogine equation is connected to the equilibrium thermodynamics already known to students. This can be done by deriving the Clausius inequality dS ≥ dq/T, from the Prigogine equation applied to reversible and irreversible processes in closed systems. Reversible and irreversible processes are discussed separately and the results are then combined into the Clausius inequality. The third step is to introduce the fact that the Prigogine equation has a variety of applications in life sciences. This would give the students an opportunity to understand the entropy balance of physiological processes in cells and organisms. The import and accumulation of entropy, entropy generation, and entropy export could be made easier for students to adopt.sr
