AI Thread Summary
For studying non-equilibrium thermodynamics, particularly in the context of coupled chemical reactions in open systems, recommendations include the book "Thermodynamics" by Lewis & Randall, 2nd edition, which covers irreversible processes and essential chemical thermodynamics. The discussion highlights a need for resources beyond engineering-focused texts, pointing towards more relevant literature. Additionally, suggestions for review articles and websites were requested to enhance understanding. Overall, the focus is on finding comprehensive materials that address the specific nuances of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Engaging with these resources will provide deeper insights into the subject matter.

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.
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
