It is becoming more and more important to manage energy resources effectively: to maximize their benefits while minimizing the negative environmental impacts. This book discusses mathematical methods from nonequilibrium thermodynamic that can provide realistic models and analyses for optimizing machines and processes. Intended for physicists, chemists, and engineers, this volume reviews the state of the art in the thermodynamics of energy conversion and transmission.
