Nikolai Kocherginsky (Urbana-Champaign University of Illinois)

Physicochemical Mechanics

With Applications in Physics, Chemistry, Membranology and Biology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Physicochemical mechanics is a modern theoretical framework that can be used to model physicochemical processes, based on well-known concepts taken from classical mechanics. This self-contained book provides a detailed summary of this theoretical approach and its many useful applications in biological physics, biochemistry and chemical engineering.
