Molecular Thermodynamics & Transport Phenomena

Many newly developing fields of science and engineering, including nanotechnology, protein engineering, microfluidics, etc., require an in-depth molecular understanding and description of matter. Molecular Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena: Complexities of Scales in Space and Time provides a rigorous molecular and statistical mechanical basis for the classical fundamental molecular description of matter. The author uniquely explores the disparities in spatial and temporal time scales in molecular mechanical dynamics and interactions that lead to the different observed behavior of matter, including equilibrium vs. nonequilibrium behavior, phase states, and irreversibility. This book provides a modern, comprehensive foundation for the classical molecular theory of matter that is demanded of todayĹźs advancing fields of science and technology.Systematic reference for interpreting, correlating, and predicting thermodynamic properties used in chemical transport|Describes natural phenomena in the language of mathematics and quantitatively characterizes relationships between time, energy, space and structural hierarchies|Included are the applications of chemical engineering thermodynamics to issues such as equilibrium properties of Non-Spherical Molecules, Thermodynamic Functions, Complex Equilibrium Systems & Determination of Configurational Distribution Functions
