Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium Statistical Thermodynamics - Equilibrium and Non-Equilibrium

Informationen zum Autor Michel le Bellac is Emeritus Professor at the Physics Department of the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis. Fabrice Mortessagne is Maitre de Conferences at the Physics Department of the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis. G. George Batrouni is Professor of Physics at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis. Klappentext A graduate-level textbook in statistical physics and thermodynamics. Zusammenfassung This graduate-level text gives a self-contained exposition of fundamental topics in equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics. The text follows a balanced approach between the macroscopic (thermodynamic) and microscopic (statistical) points of view. This advanced textbook will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in physics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Thermodynamics; 2. Statistical entropy and Boltzmann distribution; 3.
