  Thermodynamic Irreversibility in Semen Transport

  By Somnath Agasti, Souvik Chatterjee, Rubina Yasmin, Subhajit Banerjee, S.KTanbir Islam

  Abstract: Sperm ejaculation is a vital reproductive process that involves both complex biological functions and energetic mechanisms. Beyond the physiological aspects, thermodynamics offers a framework to analyze energy conversion, exergy use, and irreversibility during sperm activity. ATP provides the main source of exergy for motility, but part of this energy is inevitably lost as heat and entropy generation, reflecting inefficiencies in the process. Because heat regulation directly affects metabolic rates, motility …
