Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics

Meer over het boek

Focusing on nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, this monograph explores ensemble methods derived from the Boltzmann equation, addressing both classical and quantum dilute gases, as well as dense simple fluids. It presents theories that align with equilibrium Gibbs ensemble theory and adhere to thermodynamic laws. Central to the discussion are the generalised hydrodynamics equations, which articulate the evolution of macroscopic processes in systems significantly deviating from equilibrium, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding these complex dynamics.
