Description

Book Synopsis
This book consists of three chapters that each describe recent advancements in the field of thermodynamics, which is a branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and temperature. Chapter One provides a calculated confirmation of the theoretical positions of the concept of non-equilibrium and its mathematical apparatus using examples of determining the loss of non-equilibrium of adiabatic and isolated systems. Chapter Two focuses on the thermodynamic behavior of hydrophobic non-electrolyte tetramethylurea (TMU) and well-established hydrophilic non-electrolyte urea (U) in three solvents forming a three-dimensional H-bond network on a supramolecular level viz. water, ethylene glycol (EG) and formamide (FA). Chapter Three introduces the concept of generalized entropy and discusses some of its properties.

Table of Contents
Preface; The Concept of Non-Equilibrium as the Basis of the Second Law of Thermodynamics; Solvophobic and Solvophilic Effects in Aqueous and Non-Aqueous Solutions of Urea and Tetramethylurea; An Introduction to Generalized Entropy and Some Quantum Applications; Index.
