Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
All living organisms require energy from the surrounding and utilized by biomolecules that mediates the flow of energy from exergonic reactions to the energy requiring processes of life. This unit deals with the energy behind life in the form of three laws of thermodynamics. Derived the mathematical equations for the laws. Comparison of thermodynamic parameters like ΔH or ΔS and ΔG have been done to provide meaning ful insights about a process and its use in calculating the relative contributions of molecular phenomena to an overall process.
