Obsolete

  • false

comment

  • A constitutive flow dependency in which a flow rate between its continuant players depends on the differences in the amount properties of its players.

discussion

  • Amount-driven dependencies stand outside of the system dynamic [1] and the chemical biophysics [2] frameworks which are deeply based on thermodynamical principles in which a product of flow-rate times force-differential (as chemical- and diffusional-potentials) is a work term that has units of energy. For both mass-action chemical rate laws and Fick diffusion equations the cross-products of flows and amount-diferentials have no thermodynamic meaning because the thermodic energy content of the flowing stuff is not represented; see: 1.
