ABSTRACT: We know
that the total daily energy dissipation increases in complex organisms like the
humans. It’s very probable that this increase in total energy dissipation is
related to the progressive increase in mass. But we also know that day by day
the dissipation of energy per unit mass decreases in these organisms. We intend
to verify if this decrease is only an expression of the second law of
thermodynamics, or if it is related to the increase in mass that occurs in
these organisms. For this, we set ourselves the following objectives: verify
the correlation between total energy dissipation and the evolution of body mass, and verify the
correlation between the dissipation of energy per unit of mass and the
evolution of body mass. As a result of the data analysis, we found a high degree of
correlation between total energy dissipation and the evolution of body mass.
And we also found a high correlation between the energy dissipated per unit of mass
and the evolution of body mass. We can conclude that self-organization produces
not only an increase in mass, but also a decline in energy dissipation per unit
mass beyond what is expected by the second law of thermodynamics.
