Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics : : Entropy, Heat and Mass Transfer /

Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics : : Entropy, Heat and Mass Transfer / / Michael Bestehorn.

Transport and diffusion processes are central in numerous scientific and technical applications. Prominent examples are the temperature distribution in continuous media, the flow of liquids or gases, the dynamics of reaction-diffusion systems, or the concentration distributions in mixtures. The theo...
