Description
Natural phenomena consist of simultaneously occurring transport processes and chemical reactions. These processes may interact with each
other and lead to instabilities, fluctuations, and evolutionary systems. The objective of this book is to explore the unifying role of
thermodynamics in natural phenomena.
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics, Second Edition analyzes the transport processes
of energy, mass, and momentum transfer processes, as well as chemical reactions. It considers various processes occurring simultaneously,
and provides students with more realistic analysis and modelling by accounting for possible interactions.
This second edition updates
and expands most of the chapters of the first edition by focusing on the balance equations of mass, momentum, energy, and entropy together
with the Gibbs equation for coupled processes of physical, chemical, and biological systems. Every chapter contains examples practical
problems to be solved.
This book will be effective in senior and graduate education in chemical, mechanical, systems, biomedical, tissue,
biological, and biological systems engineering, as well as physical, biophysical, biological, chemical, and biochemical sciences.
Audience:
For graduate students in chemical, biological, mechanical, biomedical, environmental, and systems engineering programs, as well as for
graduate students in biophysical and biochemical science programs. Some parts may also be beneficial for advanced students in diverse
engineering programs.
