Abstract
Though the network thermodynamics was introduced by Oster et al for modelling the bioenergy system, only few concrete utilities were reported. One of the reasons is in the insufficient representation on the power coupling mechanism in their papers. In this paper, we study the basic elements for the circuit model of power system by introducing the new “power balance equation”. The basic elements are classifed three generalized elements which represent respectively the free energy change, the power dissipation on each power species and the power coupling between two power species in the system. The capacitors and the resistors for each power species and the transformer type transducers for the coupling -representation are devised as principal elements in the circuit model of membrane transport system. We show the coupled two-powers system can be synthesized as an elemental circuit model. The membrane transport system consisting of the water and non-electrolyte flows is also represented by the elemental circuit model.
