We have introduced the concept of dissipation in Chap. 2.3; it is related to the entropy production in irreversible chemical and physical systems, and has been discussed in the scientific literature and in texts extensively. Here we present some relatively new developments and return to the issue of dissipation and efficiency in chemical reactions in Chap. 13 and later.
We begin with several exact solutions for the entropy production in simple irreversible processes [1].
