Description
Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics by Sybren Ruurds de Groot and Peter Mazur is a comprehensive survey of the foundations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. This book provides a detailed discussion of the fluctuating linear theory of irreversible thermodynamics, covering topics such as diffusion, heat conduction, fluid dynamics, and the behavior of systems in an electromagnetic field. Advanced students will find numerous challenging problems, while chemists will be interested in the applications to electrochemistry and the theory of chemical reactions.
