Entropy and entropy generation play essential roles in our
understanding of many diverse phenomena ranging from cosmology to
biology. Their importance is manifest in areas of immediate
practical interest such as the provision of global energy as well
as in others of a more fundamental flavour such as the source of
order and complexity in nature. They also form the basis of most
modern formulations of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium
thermodynamics. Today much progress is being made in our
understanding of entropy and entropy generation in both fundamental
aspects and application to concrete problems. The purpose of this
volume is to present some of these recent and important results in
a manner that not only appeals to the entropy specialist but also
makes them accessible to the nonspecialist looking for an overview
of the field. This book contains fourteen contributions by leading
scientists in their fields. The content covers such topics as
quantum thermodynamics, nonlinear processes, gravitational and
irreversible thermodynamics, the thermodynamics of Taylor
dispersion, higher order transport, the mesoscopic theory of liquid
crystals, simulated annealing, information and biological aspects,
global energy, photovoltaics, heat and mass transport and nonlinear
electrochemical systems. Audience: This work will be of value to
physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers interested in the
theory and applications of entropy and its generation.
