Transport and Rate Processes in Physical, Chemical and Biological Systems

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics: Transport and Rate Processes in Physical, Chemical and Biological Systems, Fifth Edition emphasizes the unifying role of thermodynamics in analyzing natural phenomena. The book focuses on sustainable engineering with thermodynamics tools and techniques, fundamentals of energy analysis, process intensification, information processing that uses thermodynamics principles, artificial intelligence, and thermodynamics. This edition also focuses on thermodynamics for sustainable engineering to help engineers better address sustainability in their engineering practice. Other topics covered include digitalization of engineering, both regarding manufactured devices and the way engineers design these devices, along with a discussion of issues relating to thermodynamics and artificial intelligence.
