Advancement

Description

In an isomorphic analysis, any form of flow is the advancement of a process per unit of time, expressed in a specific motive unit [MU∙s^-1], e.g., ampere for electric flow or current [A≡C∙s^-1], watt for heat flow [W≡J∙s^-1], and for chemical flow the unit is [mol∙s^-1]. The corresponding isomorphic forces are the partial exergy (Gibbs energy) changes per advancement [J∙MU^-1], expressed in volt for electric force [V≡J∙C^-1], dimensionless for thermal force, and for chemical force the unit is [J∙mol^-1], which deserves a specific acronym ([Jol]) comparable to volt. For chemical processes of reaction and diffusion, the advancement is the amount of motive substance [mol]. The concept was originally introduced by De Donder.
