Download or read book Introduction to Mesoscopic and Nanoscale Thermodynamics written by Mikhail A. Anisimov and published by . This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, engineers often must design processes for systems where classical thermodynamics becomes insufficient, for example at nanoscale levels. This resource fills a gap in current literature by covering the fundamentals and applications of thermodynamics at the meso- and nanoscale. Based on a course taught by the author, the coverage presents experimental methods alongside practical exercises and answers to selected problems from the text. This comprehensive treatment serves as a textbook for engineering and materials science students, as well as a reference for researchers and practicing engineers.
