Non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics

Journal of Molecular Liquids, 1995
Abstract By suggesting that gas kinetic collisions are the source of irreversibility, Boltzmann's kinetic equation leads to a paradox. In a monograph entitled Non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics, applied to fluid dynamics and laser physics the author developed an original alternative theory.

Fluctuations and non-equilibrium thermodynamics

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1998
Abstract A closed macroscopic system with fluctuating local properties is treated as a thermodynamic system with internal degrees of freedom. Gibb’s entropy postulate is used to define the systems’ entropy as a functional of the probability density in internal coordinate space.

Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Transport

1987
This chapter presents in relatively simple terms the basic concepts of non-equilibrium thermodynamics (NET), and shows how these concepts can be used for the macroscopic description and evaluation of bioenergetic phenomena. The chemical and physical processes with which we are concerned in biophysics are, in the thermodynamic sense, irreversible, and ...

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and degenerate disease

Medical Hypotheses, 1984
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics, biochemistry and physiology can be associated to form a possible foundation for a theory of nutritional medicine. The theory predicts a new class of diseases. The relationship between this new class and cancer is discussed.

Rheology and Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

1998
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics with dynamic degrees of freedom gives the frame of the theories of rheology, liquid crystals, fiber reinforced materials, as well as, fluid turbulence.

Classical Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics

1978
In this chapter the treatise of non-equilibrium thermodynamics is begun. Although the groundwork was laid by the classic investigations of Kelvin, Maxwell, Rayleigh, Thomson and others, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, the classical theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics did not emerge until the first half of this century when Onsager ...
