Emphasizing the concept of universality at the mesoscale, this authoritative textbook provides the knowledge required for understanding and utilizing mesoscopic phenomena in a wide range of new and emerging technologies. Divided into two parts, Mesoscopic Thermodynamics for Scientists and Engineers opens with a concise summary of classical thermodynamics and nonequilibrium thermodynamics, followed by a detailed description of fluctuations and local (spatially-dependent) properties. Part II presents a universal approach to specific meso-heterogeneous systems, illustrated by numerous examples from experimental and computational studies that align with contemporary research and engineering practice. Bridges the gap between conventional courses in thermodynamics and real-world practice Provides in-depth instruction on applying thermodynamics to current problems involving meso- and nano-heterogeneous systems Contains a wealth of examples of simple and complex fluids, polymers, liquid crystals, and supramolecular equilibrium and dissipative structures Includes practical exercises and references to textbooks, monographs, and journal articles in each chapter Mesoscopic Thermodynamics for Scientists and Engineers is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics, chemistry, and chemical, mechanical, and materials science engineering, as well as an invaluable reference for engineers and researchers engaged in soft-condensed matter physics and chemistry, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and mechanical, chemical, and biomolecular engineering. 4aChemical Thermodynamics 4aThermodynamics 4aThermal Physics & Statistical Mechanics00amesoscopic thermodynamics; mesoscopic thermodynamics textbook; mesoscopic thermodynamics concepts; mesoscopic thermodynamics applications; mesoscopic thermodynamics reference; mesoscale thermodynamics; meso-heterogeneous systems textbook1 aLongo, Thomas J.4aut08iPrinted edition:z978139424195840uhttps://doi.org/10.1002/9781394241989aWiley Online Library40uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1002%2F9781394241989aWiley Online Library423Cover Imageuhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/9b6f89ab-dc18-4fe2-bd1b-1f1aa17488ac/9781394241989.cover.gifaWiley Online Library
