Beyond Equilibrium Thermodynamics
Wiley 2005; US$ 163.00Beyond Equilibrium Thermodynamics fills a niche in the market by providing a comprehensive introduction to a new, emerging topic in the field. The importance of non-equilibrium thermodynamics is addressed in order to fully understand how a system works, whether it is in a biological system like the brain or a system that develops plastic. In order... more...
Entropy and Energy
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 79.99Provides an introduction to thermodynamics and the concept of entropy and energy. This book gives instructive examples from elementary thermodynamics and physico-chemistry, and extrapolates the notion to non-standard thermodynamic subjects like shape memory, dissipation of the earth's atmosphere, and sociology. more...
Entropy Demystified
World Scientific Publishing Company 2007; US$ 64.00In this unique book, Arieh Ben-Naim invites the reader to experience the joy of appreciating something which has eluded understanding for many years entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The book has a two-pronged message: first, that the Second Law is not infinitely incomprehensible as commonly stated in textbooks of thermodynamics... more...
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics
Elsevier Science 2007; US$ 270.00Natural 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... more...
Molecular Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena
McGraw-Hill 2005; US$ 165.00Many newly developing fields of science and engineering, including nanotechnology, protein engineering, microfluidics, etc., require an in-depth molecular understanding and description of matter. Molecular Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena: Complexities of Scales in Space and Time provides a rigorous molecular and statistical mechanical basis... more...
Thermodynamic Equilibria and Extrema
Springer 2006; US$ 84.99Discusses mathematical models that are based on the concepts of classical equilibrium thermodynamics. These are intended for the analysis of possible results of diverse natural and production processes. These allow readers to view the achievable set of partial equilibria with regards to constraints on kinetics, energy and mass exchange. more...
Understanding Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics
Springer 2008; US$ 109.99This book offers a homogeneous presentation of the many faces of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The first part is devoted to a description of the nowadays thermodynamic formalism recognized as the classical theory of non-equilibrium processes. This part of the book may serve as a basis to an introductory course dedicated to first-year graduate students... more...
Statistical Mechanics of Nonequilibrium Liquids
Cambridge University Press 2008; US$ 128.00Graduate level book on the analysis of molecular dynamics as applied to equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems. more...
Irreversible Phenomena in Ignitions, Combustion and Detonation Waves
Springer 2007; US$ 189.99This book is focused on the latter applications and offers a rather unique viewpoint in comparison with the existing combustion literature. the central argument of the book and the subsequent applications are clearly laid out and discussed, resulting in a very interesting read. The book provides valuable access to numerous experimental and theoretical... more...
The Second Law of Life
Elsevier Science 2007; US$ 81.95In this compelling, and important book, John Schmitz brings order to the world of chaos that surrounds us. The Second Law of Life refers to the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, which is an omnipresent force that quietly and crucially determines every aspect of our society, culture and daily lives. Unless we come to understand entropy, future... more...
