Synopsis

This book utilizes non-equilibrium thermodynamics to describe transport in complex, heterogeneous media. There are large coupling effects between transport of heat, mass, charge and chemical reactions at surfaces, and it is important to know how one should properly integrate across systems where different phases are in contact. There is no other book available today that gives a prescription of how to set up flux equations for transports across heterogeneous systems.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Signe Kjelstrup is a professor of physical chemistry since 1985 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim. She is presently the principal investigator of PoreLab, Center of Excellence. From 2005 to 2014, she held a part-time chair on irreversible thermodynamics and sustainable processes at the Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands. Her works in irreversible thermodynamics concern electrochemical cells, membrane systems and entropy production minimization in process equipment. She is an honorary doctor of the University of North East China, and has been a guest professor of Kyoto University. Her book on Irreversible Thermodynamics coauthored with K S Førland and T Førland (Wiley, 1988 and 1994; Tapir, 2001) has been translated into Japanese and Chinese. Together with Bedeaux, Johannessen and Gross, she wrote the textbook Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics for Engineers, which was revised and reprinted in 2017. Dick Bedeaux was a professor of physical chemistry at the University of Leiden since 1984, and emeritus since 2006. From 2002 to 2011, he held a part-time chair at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim. He is presently an active member of PoreLab Center of Excellence. Bedeaux, together with Albano and Mazur, extended the theory of irreversible thermodynamics to surfaces. In the context of non-equilibrium thermodynamics he has worked on curved surfaces. Bedeaux is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the recipient of the Onsager Medal from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Together with Jan Vlieger, he wrote the book Optical Properties of Surfaces (Imperial College Press, 2002, and revised edition 2004). Together with Kjelstrup, Johannessen and Gross, he wrote the textbook Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics for Engineers, which was revised and reprinted in 2017.
