Advancement

Description

In an isomorphic analysis, any form of flow is the advancement of a process per unit of time, expressed in a specific motive unit [MU∙s^-1], e.g., ampere for electric flow or current, I_el = d_elξ/dt [A≡C∙s^-1], watt for thermal or heat flow, I_th = d_thξ/dt [W≡J∙s^-1], and for chemical flow of reaction, I_r = d_rξ/dt, the unit is [mol∙s^-1] (extent of reaction per time). The corresponding motive forces are the partial exergy (Gibbs energy) changes per advancement [J∙MU^-1], expressed in volt for electric force, Δ_elF = ∂G/∂_elξ [V≡J∙C^-1], dimensionless for thermal force, Δ_thF = ∂G/∂_thξ [J∙J^-1], and for chemical force, Δ_rF = ∂G/∂_rξ, the unit is [J∙mol^-1], which deserves a specific acronym [Jol] comparable to volt [V]. For chemical processes of reaction (spontaneous from high-potential substrates to low-potential products) and compartmental diffusion (spontaneous from a high-potential compartment to a low-potential compartment), the advancement is the amount of motive substance that has undergone a compartmental transformation [mol]. The concept was originally introduced by De Donder [1]. Central to the concept of advancement is the stoichiometric number, ν_i, associated with each motive component i (transformant [2]).

In a chemical reaction r the motive entity is the stoichiometric amount of reactant, d_rn_i, with stoichiometric number ν_i. The advancement of the chemical reaction, d_rξ [mol], is defined as,

drξ = drni·νi-1

The flow of the chemical reaction, I_r [mol·s^-1], is advancement per time,

Ir = drξ·dt-1

This concept of advancement is extended to compartmental diffusion and the advancement of charged particles [3], and to any discontinuous transformation in compartmental systems [2],

Abbreviation: d_trξ [MU]

d_elQ_i (d_thQ_i) are the changes in electric charge (heat) at the compartments of high or low electric potential (temperature) within the discontinuous system (from ref. [2]).

Synonyms

• advancement
• extent (of reaction)
• displacement (of a moving particle)

Advancement per volume

The advancement of a transformation in a closed homogenous system (chemical reaction) or discontinuous system (diffusion) causes a change of concentration of substances i.

The advancement causes a change of concentration due to a transformation, Δ_trc, in contrast to a difference of concentrations calculated between difference states, Δ_trc.
