Description for Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics
Hardback. This fourth edition of the acclaimed monograph goes beyond the classical theory of irreversible processes to cover a range of applications, and includes a thorough discussion of the foundations and scope of current theories on non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Num Pages: 501 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHH; TGMB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 244 x 166 x 31. Weight in Grams: 904.
The fast progress in many areas of research related to non-equilibrium ther- dynamics has prompted us to write a fourth edition of this book. Like in the previous editions, our main concern is to open the subject to the widest au- ence, including students, teachers, and researchers in physics, chemistry, engine- ing, biology, and materials sciences. Our objective is to present a general view on several open problems arising in non-equilibrium situations, and to afford a wide perspective of applications illustrating their practical outcomes and con- quences. A better comprehension of the foundations is generally correlated to an increase of ... Read more

Reviews for Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics
From the reviews of the third edition: "This is an excellent monograph presenting comprehensively the state-of-art in one of the fast developing branches of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The name of the theory emphasizes the main idea exploiting in the description on non-equilibrium states, namely, the extension of classical thermodynamic state space by means of additional independent ...
