Nonequilibrium Statistical Physics: Linear Irreversible Processes

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a united approach to the statistical physics of systems near equilibrium: it brings out the profound unity of the laws which govern them and gathers together results usually fragmented in the literature. It will be useful both as a textbook about irreversible phenomena and as a reference book for researchers.
