Provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of mesoscopic thermodynamics
Mesoscopic Thermodynamics for Scientists and Engineers presents a unified conceptual approach to the core principles of equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Emphasizing the concept of universality at the mesoscale, this authoritative textbook provides the knowledge required for understanding and utilizing mesoscopic phenomena in a wide range of new and emerging technologies.
Divided into two parts, Mesoscopic Thermodynamics for Scientists and Engineers opens with a concise summary of classical thermodynamics and nonequilibrium thermodynamics, followed by a detailed description of fluctuations and local (spatially-dependent) properties. Part II presents a universal approach to specific meso-heterogeneous systems, illustrated by numerous examples from experimental and computational studies that align with contemporary research and engineering practice.
- Bridges the gap between conventional courses in thermodynamics and real-world practice
- Provides in-depth instruction on applying thermodynamics to current problems involving meso- and nano-heterogeneous systems
- Contains a wealth of examples of simple and complex fluids, polymers, liquid crystals, and supramolecular equilibrium and dissipative structures
- Includes practical exercises and references to textbooks, monographs, and journal articles in each chapter
Mesoscopic Thermodynamics for Scientists and Engineers is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics, chemistry, and chemical, mechanical, and materials science engineering, as well as an invaluable reference for engineers and researchers engaged in soft-condensed matter physics and chemistry, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and mechanical, chemical, and biomolecular engineering.
Mikhail A. Anisimov is a Distinguished University Professor Emeritus and Research Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the Institute for Physical Science and Technology at the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Anisimov is an internationally recognized scientist who has been investigating phase transitions and critical phenomena in soft condensed matter for more than fifty years. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Thomas J. Longo is a Research Engineer at Barron Associates, Inc., focusing on machine learning applications to science and engineering. Dr. Longo completed a PhD in Chemical Physics from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2023, where he still serves as an Adjunct Research Associate. His research interests include theoretical and computational studies of thermodynamics and dynamics of phase transitions affected by chemical reactions, liquid polyamorphism, and dissipative mesoscopic strictures.
