Introduction To Mesoscopic And Nanoscale Thermodynamics

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.
