After the discussions of dissipation and efficiency in thermal engines we turn to similar considerations for chemical reactions. The main focus will be on oscillatory chemical reactions, as here positive and negative changes in efficiency can be effected in various ways, with illustrations taken frequently from biochemical reactions.
