Thermodynamic Theory of Structure, Stability and Fluctuations by Ilya Prigogine; Peter Glansdorff is a nonfiction available to read on EtoBox.
What is Thermodynamic Theory of Structure, Stability and Fluctuations about?
Classical thermodynamics "is essentially a theory of the destruction of structure" but in some ways this theory has to complemented by a theory describing the"creation of structure". For this purpose it is necessary to go beyond equilibrium or the ner equilibrium region described by linear thermodynamics or irreversible processes. The aim of this monograph is precisely to present such a macroscopic theory covering a large range of phenomena starting from equilibrium and including nonlinear situations, convection and instabilities.
Who reads Thermodynamic Theory of Structure, Stability and Fluctuations?
It is typically read by self-directed learners exploring a subject in depth.
Common subject areas: history, science, philosophy, social sciences.
