title: The efficiency of mechano-chemical cycles and the mechano-chemical availability function.
abstract: This paper deals with elementary thermodynamic considerations applicable to mechano-chemical cycles. It shall review concepts about the efficiency of these cycles and then suggest an extension of the concept of the Availability Function to be called the Mechano-Chemical Availability Function.
