Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics
2013In the preceding chapters with few exceptions we studied systems at equilibrium. This means that the systems do not change or evolve over time.

Equilibrium Thermodynamics gives a comprehensive but concise course in the fundamentals of classical thermodynamics. Although the subject is essentially classical in nature, illustrative material is drawn widely from modern physics and free use is made of microscopic ideas to illuminate it.

Nanotechnology, 2012
The thermodynamics of the templating of materials on one-dimensional templates, such as DNA, is modeled by considering two terms: the surface tension of the material (γ) and a line energy (σ = 2πrTγT) that represents the adhesion of the material to the ...

Equilibrium and non-equilibrium approaches in biomembrane thermodynamics
Archives Internationales de Physiologie et de Biochimie, 1987AbstractThis quotation from a non-technical paper by a respected classic of (bio)membrane thermodynamics (Katchalsky, 1971) was chosen as motto for it suggests the kind of fascination exerted by the abstract and rigorous treatments of thermodynamics, which provide correct descriptions of phenomena, even without knowing the details of the systems in ...

Thermodynamics of adsorption equilibrium
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Division of Chemical Science, 19691. The curve which describes the differential free enthalpy of adsorption as a function of its derivative with respect to temperature at a constant degree of coverage is a rather convenient characteristic of adsorption equilibrium determined by the structure of the adsorbent. 2.

Biological systems are far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Concentration gradients and electrostatic potential differences are the driving forces for diffusive currents and chemical reactions. In this chapter, we present the basic ingredients of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We derive continuity equations for mass and energy.

Differential geometry of equilibrium thermodynamics
Physical Review A, 1987In the present paper, extending the Weinhold theory, we obtain some differential-geometry properties of the ideal gas and the ideal paramagnetic gas. In particular, we show that the scalar curvature of the ideal paramagnetic gas can be a function of temperature.

Approach to Thermodynamic Equilibrium
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1961The properties of a macroscopic classical system consisting of some 1020 molecules are determined by a probability density function W of the complete Γ space of moments and coordinates of all the molecules. This probability density function is that of the ensemble representing the totality of all experimental systems prepared according to the ...
