Experimental Thermodynamics—Volume IX: A, Advances in Transport Properties and B, Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Applications

From the journal Chemistry International

This multipart project is to update and supplement two previous books both published under the auspices of IUPAC and these are as follows:

Experimental Thermodynamics III, Measurement of the Transport Properties of Fluids, edited by W.A. Wakeham, A. Nagashima and J.V. Sengers; and

Transport Properties of Fluids: Their Correlation, Prediction and Estimation, edited by Jurgen Millat, J.H. Dymond and C.A. Nieto de Castro.

The first was published in 1990 and the second in 1996. These texts are available in libraries only and not always easily accessible to the intended practitioners within academia, government and industry. Furthermore, the material is at least 20 years old and there have been substantial new developments to be brought to the attention of the same audience.

The overall project is to update and supplement, without repetition of the previous material, the earlier work with respect to both the state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical methods for the transport properties of fluids in the following three focused volumes:

· Volume A, Advances in Transport Properties, predominantly, but not exclusively, aimed at an academic audience (project 2011-051-1-100);

· Volume B, Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Applications (project 2013-003-3-100); and

· Volume C, Applied Transport Properties, intended for users of transport property data in industry; the last volume will rely in part on content from Volume A.

Volume A, Advances in Transport Properties shall treat together only those developments, whether experimental or theoretical, that are entirely new since the previous volumes or where there significant new developments or application to new materials. The underpinning material covered earlier will not be repeated.

Volume B, Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Applications will include recent developments in the theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and its applications. Four chapters are devoted to the foundations; an overview chapter is followed by chapters describing recent results addressing the underlying principles of the theory. The applications are concerned with bulk systems, with heterogeneous systems, where interfaces are central and with process units in industry where entropy production minimization is useful. Finally a collection of papers under the heading mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics, gives an overview of extensions of the theory into the non-linear regime.
