Thermodynamics of Fluids Under Flow
Springer 2010; US$ 99.99This 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... more...
Discover Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
World Scientific Publishing Company 2010; US$ 129.00This is a sequel to the author's book entitled "Entropy Demystified". The aim is essentially the same as that of the previous book by the author: to present Entropy and the Second Law as simple, meaningful and comprehensible concepts. In addition, this book presents a series of experiments which are designed to help the reader discover... more...
Thermodynamics of Non-Equilibrium Processes for Chemists with a Particular Appliction to Catalysis
Elsevier Science 2009; US$ 275.00Thermodynamics 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 adapted his course of thermodynamics of non-equilibrium processes so that the subject can be treated in terms... more...
Entropy and the Time Evolution of Macroscopic Systems
OUP Oxford 2008; US$ 64.99This book is based on the premise that the entropy concept, a fundamental element of probability theory as logic, governs all of thermal physics, both equilibrium and nonequilibrium. The variational algorithm of J. Willard Gibbs, dating from the 19th Century and extended considerably over the following 100 years, is shown to be the governing feature... 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...
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...
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...
Mass Transfer
Wiley 2007; US$ 180.00This didactic approach to the principles and modeling of mass transfer as it is needed in modern industrial processes is unique in combining a step-by-step introduction to all important fundamentals with the most recent applications. Based upon the renowned author's successful new modeling method as used for the O-18 process, the exemplary exercises... 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...
