Transport Phenomena

by Henrik Smith and H. Højgaard Jensen

This book introduces the concepts used to understand transport phenomena, which pervade all of physics. The focus is on the application of the statistical principles of kinetic theory to non-equilibrium situations, not only in the gas phase but also regarding plasmas, liquids, and solids. These powerful techniques are applied within the framework of the Boltzmann equation to a range of systems. The text is aimed at postgraduates and theoreticians,...
