This book presents material for a one semester course on for senior undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and applied sciences.

The study provides the common ground and explores the connections between , thus giving a sound foundation for all transport equations in the broader area of

The chosen approach highlights the importance of , particularly the second law of thermodynamics, for the development of stable transport equations—global and local balance laws for mass, momentum, energy and entropy— for thermofluidic systems.

The study of transport processes through solutions of the equations considers mostly simple materials in simple geometries to allow for analytical solutions. This accessible approach emphasizes the general understanding of , visualizes the interplay between the different branches of , and thus enhances the understanding of each field, as well as their interconnections.

The material covers classical subjects such as Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations, wave propagation and diffusion, shocks and flames, and includes discussions of nonequilibrium interfaces and extended thermodynamics. Irreversible losses due to entropy generation are highlighted throughout, emphasizing the link to thermodynamics and energy systems.

About 140 end-of-chapter problems of varied length and difficulty teach the required technical skills while giving further insight into the multitude of .

Über Autor(innen)

Henning Struchtrup is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Victoria, in Victoria, BC, Canada. Before joining the University of Victoria in 2001, he obtained Diploma and PhD in Engineering Physics from the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, and held postdoc positions in Berlin, Catania (Italy), and Minneapolis (USA). His teaching and research cover a wide range of topics in thermodynamics, from applications in energy systems, over nonequilibrium thermodynamics, to rarefied gas dynamics. He authored numerous scientific contributions and a monography on (Springer 2007). His textbooks (2nd ed, 2024) and (2024)are rooted in his desire to make thermodynamics, in particular entropy and the second law, accessible and relevant to students in engineering and applied sciences
