SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for resources on non-equilibrium thermodynamics, specifically regarding coupled chemical reactions in open systems. Participants recommend "Thermodynamics" by Lewis & Randall (2nd ed., 1961) and suggest that it covers irreversible processes and fundamental concepts in chemical thermodynamics. The inquiry highlights a gap in available literature, as most existing resources focus on engineering applications rather than chemical reactions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-equilibrium thermodynamics principles
  • Familiarity with coupled chemical reactions
  • Knowledge of open system dynamics
  • Basic concepts of irreversible processes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Thermodynamics" by Lewis & Randall for foundational knowledge
  • Explore review articles on coupled chemical reactions in open systems
  • Investigate the role of irreversible processes in chemical thermodynamics
  • Look into advanced texts on non-equilibrium thermodynamics
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, chemists, and students focusing on non-equilibrium thermodynamics and coupled chemical reactions, particularly those seeking resources beyond engineering applications.

Need a good book...

On non-equilibrium thermodynamics, particulary of chemical reactions. More specifically still, coupled chemical reactions in open systems. Had a look around our library and most we have seem to be pre-occupied mainly with engineering (engines, electric currents etc). Any suggestions greatly appreciated (also websites, review articles... ?).

Cheers,

"Non-eq. thermo?" Prigogine. From your protein folding questions, that is NOT what you want. Thermodynamics, Lewis & Randall, 2nd ed., Pitzer & Brewer, 1961, might be more to your liking for discussions of irreversible processes, estimations of properties, and the other basics of chem. thermo.
