THERMODYNAMICS & KINETIC THEORY (V12)

216 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book deals with aspects of thermodynamic restrictions in modern continuum mechanics and with particular problems of the kinetic theory and statistical mechanics. It stresses the interplay between statistical and phenomenological modelling of physical phenomena including homogenization techniques for media with microstructure. Diverse approaches to either derivation or justification of macroscopic models by microscopic theories are presented. From the kinetic theory, the problem of existence of solutions to the Boltzmann equation and particular solutions to the discrete velocity models are also considered. The book includes papers concerning viscoelasticity treated within the framework of both rational and extended thermodynamics. Phenomenological theories of hyperbolic heat conduction in solids and fluids are also discussed.
