Summary
Using an electronic analog model, it was possible to analyse steady state transitions of energy fluxes during temperature adaption, accomodation and other responses of biological open systems. This model reproduced and quantitatively calculated expected responses on the basic of transport equations derived from irreversible thermodynamics. It was found that this model could account for certain observed biological effects.
