Thermodynamic inequalities in gases and magnetoplasmas.

Author(s) : WOODS L. C.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book examines the numerous thermodynamic inequalities and their applications to transport problems in gases and magnetoplasmas. The most famous inequality is that obtained by Boltzmann and the oldest, that due to Clausius. The author develops the theory of irreversible thermodynamics in the text, both for continuum and kinetic theory descriptions. Contents: historical introduction; equations of equilibrium thermodynamics; principles of irreversible thermodynamics; continuum thermodynamics; constitutive equations; higher-order transport; transport in magnetoplasmas; kinetic processes; laboratory applications; astrophysical applications.
