Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Více o knize

The book delves into nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, utilizing ensemble methods rooted in the Boltzmann equation. It addresses both classical and quantum dilute gases, as well as dense simple fluids through a generalized Boltzmann equation. The theories align with equilibrium Gibbs ensemble theory while adhering to thermodynamic laws. A key focus is on generalized hydrodynamics equations, which articulate the macroscopic evolution of processes in systems significantly out of equilibrium, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding complex thermodynamic behavior.
