Description
This book utilizes non-equilibrium thermodynamics to describe transport in complex, heterogeneous media. There are large coupling effects between transport of heat, mass, charge and chemical reactions at surfaces, and it is important to know how one should properly integrate across systems where different phases are in contact. There is no other book available today that gives a prescription of how to set up flux equations for transports across heterogeneous systems.Contents: ScopeWhy Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics?Thermodynamic Relations for Heterogeneous SystemsThe Entropy Production for a Homogeneous PhaseThe Excess Entropy Production for the SurfaceThe Excess Entropy Production for a Three-Phase Contact LineFlux Equations and Onsager RelationsTransport of Heat and MassTransport of Heat and ChargeTransport of Mass and ChargeEvaporation and CondensationMulti-Component Diffusion, Heat Conduction and Cross EffectsA Non-Isothermal Concentration CellThe Transported EntropyAdiabatic Electrode ReactionsThe Liquid Junction PotentialThe Formation CellPower from Regular and Thermal OsmosisModeling the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel CellMeasuring Membrane Transport PropertiesThe Impedance of an Electrode SurfaceNon-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics SimulationsThe Non-Equilibrium Two-Phase van der Waals ModelCurved SurfacesThe Catalyst Surface Temperature
