Abstract：

A number of ion channels are observed to be sensitive to the temperature changes. These temperature-gated ion channels can detect the temperature thus regulate the internal homoeostasis and disease-related processes such as the thermal adaptation and the fever response. In order to understand how the temperature affects the ion channel mechanics, we develop a Poisson--Nernst--Planck--Fourier (PNPF) system through the energetic variational approach. With given form of the free energy functional and the entropy production, we achieve the mechanical equations and a temperature equation, which satisfy the laws of thermodynamics automatically. From the energy point of view, we also develop the numeric scheme which satisfy the discrete energy dissipation.
