Their importance is manifest in areas of immediate practicalinterest such as the provision of global energy as well as in othersof a more fundamental flavour such as the source of order andcomplexity in nature. They also form the basis of most modernformulations of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics.Today much progress is being made in our understanding of entropy andentropy generation in both fundamental aspects and application toconcrete problems. The purpose of this volume is to present some ofthese recent and important results in a manner that not only appealsto the entropy specialist but also makes them accessible to thenonspecialist looking for an overview of the field. .This book contains fourteen contributions by leading scientists intheir fields. The content covers such topics as quantumthermodynamics, nonlinear processes, gravitational and irreversiblethermodynamics, the thermodynamics of Taylor dispersion, higher ordertransport, the mesoscopic theory of liquid crystals, simulatedannealing, information and biological aspects, | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | 关键词 | energy; entropy; photovoltaics; thermodynamics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/0-306-46932-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4020-0416-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-306-46932-9 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2002 |
