Description for Thermodynamics and Fluctuations Far from Equilibrium
Hardback. Deals with the formulation of the thermodynamics of chemical and other systems far from equilibrium, including connections to fluctuations. This book contains applications to non-equilibrium stationary states and approaches to such states, systems with multiple stationary states, stability and equi-stability conditions, and transport properties. Series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics. Num Pages: 221 pages, 6 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PNRW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 14. Weight in Grams: 1090.
Thermodynamics is one of the foundations of science. The subject has been developed for systems at equilibrium for the past 150 years. The story is di?erent for systems not at equilibrium, either time-dependent systems or systems in non-equilibrium stationary states; here much less has been done, even though the need for this subject has much wider applicability. We have been interested in, and studied, systems far from equilibrium for 40 years and present here some aspects of theory and experiments on three topics: Part I deals with formulation of thermodynamics of systems far from equilibrium, including connections to ?uctuations, with ...

Reviews for Thermodynamics and Fluctuations Far from Equilibrium
From the reviews: "Generalizing thermodynamics to treat … nonequilibrium situations is the subject matter of ‘Thermodynamics and Fluctuations far from Equilibrium,’ by John Ross. Because nonequilibrium thermodynamics lies at the heart of many diverse real processes, the book’s subject matter should prove useful to a wide audience including, among others, physicists, chemists, biologists, and engineers. ...
