More about the book
The book explores the development of thermodynamics, particularly focusing on the theory of irreversible processes, which has not yet reached full maturity despite nearly 180 years of study. It builds on the foundational works of notable scientists and aims to generalize equilibrium thermodynamics to include non-equilibrium states and non-linear irreversible phenomena. The discussion emphasizes the continuum mechanical theory of matter and energy exchanges within macroscopic systems, moving beyond molecular considerations to address broader thermodynamic principles.
