Opis

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is a science that provides a constructive way of formulating evolution equations of processes that are consistent with fundamental laws of Nature. This monograph discusses different kinds of such theories & their consistent and rigorous unification in multilevel formulations. A wide range of examples with an emphasis on the theory of mixtures helps in applying the theory in various fields (e.g. in physics, biology).

Recenzje

"The book presents an advanced course on thermodynamics. Each chapter is provided with applied examples for illustration; however, its presentation is not straight forward. The book may find places in university libraries as well as in research establishments."
