Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics

2019
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics: Transport and Rate Processes in Physical, Chemical and Biological Systems, Fourth Edition emphasizes the unifying role of thermodynamics in analyzing natural phenomena. This updated edition expands on the third edition by focusing on the general balance equations for coupled processes of physical, chemical and biological ...

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics

Journal of Applied Physics, 1953
The foundations and implications of the concepts essential to the thermodynamic analysis of nonequilibrium systems are investigated. Following a review of the background developments in irreversible thermodynamics the concept of thermostatic isolation is introduced.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of nucleation

The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2014
We present a novel approach to nucleation processes based on the GENERIC framework (general equation for the nonequilibrium reversible-irreversible coupling). Solely based on the GENERIC structure of time-evolution equations and thermodynamic consistency arguments of exchange processes between a metastable phase and a nucleating phase, we derive the ...

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of glasses

Physical Review E, 2006
We consider the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of glasses from various perspectives. For the commonly used equilibriumlike approach based on Gibbs' fundamental form with an additional pair of conjugate variables, we discuss possible choices of the independent out-of-equilibrium variable and we illustrate some implications by concrete results for a well ...

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics

2010
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.
