  • 9780444595577
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 536.7 23 D381
Contents:
Chapter 1. Fundamentals of equilibrium thermodynamics -- chapter 2. Transport and rate processes -- chapter 3. Fundamentals of nonequilibrium thermodynamics -- chapter 4. Using the second law : thermodynamic analysis -- chapter 5. Thermoeconomics -- chapter 6. Diffusion -- chapter 7. Heat and mass transfer -- chapter 8. Chemical reactions -- chapter 9. Coupled systems of chemical reactions and transport processes -- chapter 10. Membrane transport -- chapter 11. Thermodynamics and biological systems -- chapter 12. Stability analysis -- chapter 13. Organized structures -- chapter 14. Nonequilibrium thermodynamics approaches -- chapter 15. Probabilistic approach in thermodynamics -- Appendices -- Index.
Summary: 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.
