A representative active transport and energy conversions

Solving this example requires information about the partition of the total heat power in Eq. (10.207) among the five different parts of the total process 

The unknowns are two reaction rates (Jn and. /r2), two internal energy flows (W chl and Wcia), and the five heat powers. Besides Eqs. (10.202)-(10.206), we have the following additional relations from the data above  

The oxygen consumption is obtained from the oxidation reaction of glucose 

Therefore, using Eq. (10.207), the total energy expenditure becomes 

In this highly simplified example, the Na+ ion concentrations in the extracellular and intracellular spaces are not used because we are assuming isobaric, isothermal, and ideal mixtures.
