The authors assume readers are familiar with the concepts taught in introductory university courses in physics and chemistry, and cover basic laws of classical and irreversible thermodynamics, phase equilibria, the thermodynamic theory of solutions, chemical reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, surface and interfacial phenomena, stressed systems, diffusion and statistical thermodynamics of gases and condensed matter.
The following major topics are discussed: basic laws of classical and irreversible thermodynamics, phase equilibria, theory of solutions, chemical reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, surface phenomena, stressed systems, diffusion and statistical thermodynamics.
While linear irreversible thermodynamics was fully developed in the middle 20th century, he says, a unified formulation of non-linear non-equilibrium thermodynamics is clearly needed, and he furthers that endeavor by reviewing classical and new elements of the phenomenological and the statistical approaches.
