Description for Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics
Paperback. Covers a wide spectrum of applications and contains a wide discussion of the foundations and the scope of the most current theories of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The new edition reflects new developments and contains a new chapter on the interplay between hydrodynamics and thermodynamics. Num Pages: 478 pages, 15 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHH; PHS; TGMB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 24. Weight in Grams: 735.
This is the first comprehensive monograph on a new thermodynamic theory that goes beyond the classical theory of irreversible processes. In contrast to the classical approach, the local equilibrium hypothesis is abandoned, and the basic variables are complemented by non-equilibrium quantities. The claims made for extended thermodynamics are confirmed by the kinetic theory of gases and statistical mechanics. The book covers a wide spectrum of applications, and also contains a wide discussion of the foundations and the scope of the most current theories of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The present edition reflects new developments in the theory of applications, adds new problems ... Read more

Reviews for Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics
From the reviews of the second edition "This excellent book presents the actual state of ideas on thermo-dynamics, and the new concept of Extended Irreversible Thermo-dynamics (EIT) ... Each chapter is self-consistent and ends with specific exercises and references." (V. Pletser in: Physicalia) From the reviews of the third edition: "This ... Read more
