Thermodynamics of non-equilibrium processes is a comparatively
new area of thermodynamics. Traditionally this discipline is taught
only to chemistry students who have a very strong background in
physics. The author of the present book has adaptedhis course of
thermodynamics of non-equilibrium processes so that the subject can
be treated in terms understandable to any chemist with a formal
physicochemical education in the fields of classical thermodynamics
of equilibrium processes and traditional chemical kinetics.
The discipline combines thermodynamics and chemical kinetics and
is helpful to researchers engaged in studying complex chemical
transformations, in particular, catalytic transformations. For
example, important concepts for such studies are conditions of
kinetic irreversibility of complex stepwise stoichiometric
reactions, rate-determining and rate-limiting stages, etc. In
traditional chemical kinetics, these concepts are not very clear
and tend to be concealed in courses. Fortunately, these concepts
appear to be consistently and properly defined in terms of
thermodynamics of non-equilibrium processes.
The present book is the synopsis of lectures on thermodynamics
of non-equilibrium processes and a particular course on
thermodynamics of operating catalysts.
Applies simple approaches of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to
analyzing properties of chemically reactive systems
Covers systems far from equilibrium, allowing the consideration
of most chemically reactive systems of a chemical or biological
nature
This approach resolves many complicated problems in the teaching
of chemical kinetics "
