The conceptual problems arising in the definition and measurement of temperature in non-
equilibrium states are discussed in this paper in situations where the local-equilibrium …

This work is mainly concerned with the extension of hydrodynamics beyond the Navier–
Stokes equations, a regime known as Burnett hydrodynamics. The derivation of the Burnett …

Our aim is to propose a theory which goes beyond the classical formulation of
thermodynamics. This is achieved by enlarging the space of basic independent variables …

Our time is characterized by an explosion of information and by an acceleration of
knowledge. A book cannot compete with the huge amount of data available on the Web …

We review the progress made in extended irreversible thermodynamics during the ten years
that have elapsed since the publication of our first review on the same subject (Rep. Prog …

Within the framework of Jaynes'" Predictive Statistical Mechanics", this book presents a
detailed derivation of an ensemble formalism for open systems arbitrarily away from …

The arrow of time refers to the curious asymmetry that distinguishes the future from the past.
Reversing the Arrow of Time argues that there is an intimate link between the symmetries …

We discuss the conceptual differences between a nonequilibrium absolute temperature
(defined as the partial derivative of the steady-state nonequilibrium entropy) and the local …

Thermodynamics is considered to be an offshoot of the Industrial Revo lution that began in
England in the second half of the 18th Century and from there spread to other parts of the …

A local-nonequilibrium model for rapid solidification of highly undercooled melts is
proposed. The model predicts an abrupt change of the effective diffusion coefficient, the …
