Approximate exergy balances in a representative active transport

The total exergy loss is related to the oxidation of glucose 

For the control volume cv5, there is no yield and no efficiency. For the total control volume, the yield is measured in terms of the capacity of the system to maintain its nonequilibrium character in concentration and electrical potential across the membrane. The maintenance of nonequilibrium conditions is expressed quantitatively as the product of a generalized potential difference and generalized flow represented by P5. 

Taking the values from Example 10.9, and for. /r3 =. /r2 and Jr5 = Jl4 = 1 mmol/min (stationary state), we have
