Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and the Production of Entropy by Axel Kleidon

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and the Production of Entropy by Axel Kleidon

The present volume studies the application of concepts from non-equilibrium thermodynamics to a variety of research topics. Emphasis is on the Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle and applications to Geosphere-Biosphere couplings. Written by leading researchers form a wide range of background, the book proposed to give a first coherent account of an emerging field at the interface of thermodynamics, geophysics and life sciences.

The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory's Planetary Scientist is Ralph D. Lorenz. He worked on the Huygens expedition to Titan for the European Space Agency, and he's worked on a number of NASA and foreign space projects, including Cassini, the Mars Polar Lander, and the Japanese Venus Climate Orbiter. He enjoys traveling to strange regions on Earth to study about processes on other worlds, such as dust devils, sand dunes, and volcanoes, from the Arabian Desert to Alaska to Vanuatu and New Zealand.
