This is the second edition of the book "Thermodynamics of Fluids
under Flow," which was published in 2000 and has now been
corrected, expanded and updated. This is a companion book to our
other title Extended irreversible thermodynamics (D. Jou, J.
Casas-Vazquez and G. Lebon, Springer, 4th edition 2010), and of the
textbook Understanding non-equilibrium thermodynamics (G. Lebon, D.
Jou and J. Casas-Vazquez, Springer, 2008. The present book is more
specialized than its counterpart, as it focuses its attention on
the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of flowing fluids, incorporating
non-trivial thermodynamic contributions of the flow, going beyond
local equilibrium theories, i.e., including the effects of internal
variables and of external forcing due to the flow. Whereas the
book's first edition was much more focused on polymer solutions,
with brief glimpses into ideal and real gases, the present edition
covers a much wider variety of systems, such as: diluted and
concentrated polymer solutions, polymer blends, laminar and
turbulent superfluids, phonon hydrodynamics and heat transport in
nanosystems, nuclear collisions, far-from-equilibrium ideal gases,
and molecular solutions. It also deals with a variety of
situations, emphasizing the non-equilibrium flow contribution:
temperature and entropy in flowing ideal gases, shear-induced
effects on phase transitions in real gases and on polymer
solutions, stress-induced migration and its application to flow
chromatography, Taylor dispersion, anomalous diffusion in flowing
systems, the influence of the flow on chemical reactions, and
polymer degradation. The new edition is not only broader in scope,
but more educational in character, and with more emphasis on
applications, in keeping with our times. It provides many examples
of how a deeper theoretical understanding may bring new and more
efficient applications, forging links between theoretical progress
and practical aims. This updated version expands on the trusted
content of its predecessor, making it more interesting and useful
for a larger audience.
