For instance, they discuss baricentric coordinates, mapping between Hilbert spaces, tensor products between linear spaces, orbits of vectors of a linear space under the action of its structure group, and the class of Hilbert space as a category.

This book presents generalized heat-conduction laws which, from a mesoscopic perspective, are relevant to new applications (especially in nanoscale heat transfer, nanoscale thermoelectric phenomena, and in diffusive-to-ballistic regime) and at the same time keep up with the pace of current microscopic research.

This is the second edition of "Thermodynamics of Fluids under Flow," which has now been corrected, expanded and updated. It provides macroscopic and microscopic approaches to assessing flow contributions to thermodynamic quantities.

This fourth edition of the acclaimed monograph goes beyond the classical theory of irreversible processes to cover a range of applications, and includes a thorough discussion of the foundations and scope of current theories on non-equilibrium thermodynamics.

Discover the many facets of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The first part of this book describes the current thermodynamic formalism recognized as the classical theory. To help build your understanding, some problems have been analyzed using several formalisms to underscore their differences and their similarities.
