本文提出了光合作用的通量耦合模型。通过要求最小熵产生。我们发现光合效率本质上是由D/的平方根给出的。D和h分别为叶绿体中限速过程的扩散系数和导热系数。对于D和X的实验值，发现效率为2.4-7.5%，可能值为6.1%，而c4植物的效率已知为6.2%。我们得出结论，光合作用过程在定量上符合最小熵产生原理。(C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.版权所有
In this paper a flux-coupling model of photosynthesis is presented. By requiring minimum entropy production. ii is found that the photosynthetic efficiency is essentially given by the square root of D/lambda. D and h are the diffusion coefficient and thermal conductivity of the rate-limiting processes in the chloroplast, respectively. For experimental values of D and X, the efficiency is found to be 2.4-7.5%, with a likely value of 6.1%, whereas C4-plants are known to have an efficiency of 6.2%. We conclude that the process of photosynthesis is in quantitative agreement with the principle of minimum entropy production. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
