More about the book
The book delves into the development of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, addressing the incomplete theory of irreversible processes that has persisted despite nearly 180 years of study. It builds on foundational works by Onsager, Meixner, and Prigogine, expanding their focus on linear irreversible processes to encompass a broader range of non-linear phenomena. By exploring states far from equilibrium, the author aims to enhance our understanding of the thermodynamic behavior of macroscopic systems and the exchange of matter and energy, moving beyond traditional equilibrium thermodynamics.
