Natural phenomena consist of simultaneously occurring transport
processes and chemical reactions. These processes may interact with
each other and may lead to self-organized structures, fluctuations,
instabilities, and evolutionary systems. "Nonequilibrium
Thermodynamics, 3rd edition" emphasizes the unifying role of
thermodynamics in analyzing the natural phenomena.
This third edition updates and expands on the first and second
editions by focusing on the general balance equations for coupled
processes of physical, chemical, and biological systems. The new
edition contains a new chapter on stochastic approaches to include
the statistical thermodynamics, mesoscopic nonequilibrium
thermodynamics, fluctuation theory, information theory, and
modeling the coupled biochemical systems in thermodynamic analysis.
This new addition also comes with more examples and practice
problems.
A useful text for seniors and graduate students from diverse
engineering and science programs to analyze some nonequilibrium,
coupled, evolutionary, stochastic, and dissipative
processesHighlights fundamentals of equilibrium thermodynamics,
transport processes and chemical reactionsExpands the theory of
nonequilibrium thermodynamics and its use in coupled transport
processes and chemical reactions in physical, chemical, and
biological systemsPresents a unified analysis for transport and
rate processes in various time and space scalesDiscusses stochastic
approaches in thermodynamic analysis including fluctuation and
information theoriesHas 198 fully solved examples and 287 practice
problemsAn Instructor Resource containing the Solution Manual can
