E-Books →Non–Equilibrium Thermodynamics Entropy, Heat and Mass Transfer (De Gruyter Textbook)

The first part of the textbook discusses the concept of equilibrium thermodynamics and its generalization to systems in local equilibrium.
Thermodynamic fluxes are defined and caused by generalized forces. Finally, linear relations, the Onsager relations, between fluxes and forces allow for a closed description. In this way, conservation equations for mass (continuity), momentum (Euler or Navier-Stokes), and energy (temperature) are derived and solved analytically or numerically for several examples.
The second part is based on
the kinetic gas theory describing a classical many particle system. At the example of a perfect gas the conservation equations derived phenomenologically in the first part are thereby put on statistical grounds.
The textbook addresses advanced Bachelor or Master students of physics, mechanical engineering and applied mathematics.
