Classic monograph treats the irreversible processes and phenomena of thermodynamics: non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

Classic monograph treats irreversible processes and phenomena of thermodynamics: non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

Discover the many facets of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The first part of this book describes the current thermodynamic formalism recognized as the classical theory. The second part focuses on different approaches.

The book also emphasizes nonequilibrium thermodynamics tools, such as fluctuation theories, mesoscopic thermodynamic analysis, information theories, and quantum thermodynamics in describing and designing small scale systems.

This book offers a panoramic view of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Perhaps the two most attractive aspects of thermodynamic equilibrium are its stability and its independence from the specifics of the particular system involved.

This title builds from basic principles to advanced techniques, and covers the major phenomena, methods, and results of time-dependent systems.

This book puts emphasis on developing the basic ideas behind the different approaches to non-equilibrium thermodynamics and on applying them to solids.

This new edition covers contemporary directions of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics as well as classical methods of kinetics.

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a general framework that allows the macroscopic description of irreversible processes. This book introduces non-equilibrium thermodynamics and its applications to the rheology of multiphase flows.

The book describes in a simple and practical way what non-equilibrium thermodynamics is and how it can add to engineering fields.
