Discover the many facets of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The first part of this book describes the current thermodynamic formalism recognized as the classical theory. The second part focuses on different approaches. Throughout the presentation, the emphasis is on problem-solving applications. To help build your understanding, some problems have been analyzed using several formalisms to underscore their differences and their similarities.
Les escriptures de l’Univers L’univers, com un text escrit amb nombres, amb llum, amb àtoms, amb gens: aquestes són les escriptures que donen títol a aquesta antologia de poemes de l’autor sobre diversos aspectes del món que avui ens presenta la ciència. L’univers, la llum, la matèria, la vida, els nombres, l’ensenyament, són els àmbits en què es desplega la visió poètica d’aquest llibre, en què la ciència és vista com un diàleg amb el món que ens volta. The scriptures of the Universe The Universe as a text written with numbers, light, atoms, genes: these are the scriptures to which refers the title of this anthology of the author’s poems about science. Universe...
Covers a wide spectrum of applications and contains a wide discussion of the foundations and the scope of the most current theories of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The new edition reflects new developments and contains a new chapter on the interplay between hydrodynamics and thermodynamics.

Modern technology strives towards higher speed, higher power, and higher miniaturiza tion. In these conditions, the classical transport equations must be updated in order to incorporate memory, non-local, and non-linear effects. These effects have been studied by starting from microscopic models which are specific to particular systems and whose solution requires mathematical approximations and boundary conditions. The aim of extended irreversible thermodynamics is to complement such microscopic analyses with a macroscopic framework which could play, with respect to the generalized trans port equations incorporating the aforementioned effects, a role similar to the one played by classical th...
Heb je je ooit afgevraagd of God echt iemand zoals jij kan gebruiken? Dan is het verhaal van David voor jou. De herder. De koning. De strijder. De vriend. De zondaar. De man van geloof. David staat bekend om de vele titels die hij gedurende zijn leven heeft gekregen, maar er wordt het meest naar hem verwezen als een man naar Gods hart. Hoewel Davids transparante geloof oprecht en zijn loyaliteit aan zijn Heer echt was, onthult een diepgaande blik in de Bijbel dat zijn leven ook werd gekenmerkt door drama, bedrog, verwoesting en twijfel. Hoe kan het dan dat David bekend staat als invloedrijke Bijbelse held? Ontrouwe David diende een trouwe God. In deze achtweekse Love God Greatly Bijbelstudie...
Based on the authors’ successful theory for extended irreversible thermodynamics, the book analyzes the thermodynamic aspects of several phenomena induced by the flow in fluid systems.
My Name is Universe is a book of interviews with internationally renowned personalities through which some of the layers of knowledge included in the Periodic Table are revealed, recreated by Eugenia Balcells in the mural Homage to the Elements. Who would have thought that a work of art based on a scientific idea could explode like a veritable intellectual Big Bang and take us on a thrilling journey from atoms to galaxies through music, philosophy, art, cinema, chemistry, poetry, theater, dance, astrophysics, education, architecture, painting, quantum physics, religion or mathematics? My Name is Universe is a book in which science, the arts and the humanities are intertwined, appealing to the transversality and unity of knowledge. A text that cultivates an attitude of wonder at the world around us, the engine of artistic and scientific creation, and that stimulates the reader’s curiosity and creativity.
This second part of Continuum Thermodynamics is designed to match almost one-to-one the chapters of Part I. This is done so that the reader studying thermodynamics will have a deepened understanding of the subjects covered in Part I. The aims of the book are in particular: the illustration of basic features of some simple thermodynamical models such as ideal and viscous fluids, non-Newtonian fluids, nonlinear solids, interactions with electromagnetic fields and diffusive porous materials. A further aim is the illustration of the above subjects by examples and simple solutions of initial and boundary problems as well as simple exercises to develop skills in the construction of interdisciplinary macroscopic models.
