Beschreibungen

This book presents generalized heat-conduction laws which, from a mesoscopic perspective, are relevant to new applications (especially in nanoscale heat transfer, nanoscale thermoelectric phenomena, and in diffusive-to-ballistic regime) and at the same time keep up with the pace of current microscopic research. The equations presented in the book are compatible with generalized formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, going beyond the local-equilibrium. The book includes six main chapters, together with a
preface and a final section devoted to the future perspectives, as well as an extensive bibliography.
<p>1 Nonequilibrium
thermodynamics and heat transport at nanoscale.- 2 Linear and nonlinear
heat-transport equations.- 3 Mesoscopic description of boundary effects and
effective thermal conductivity in nanosystems: phonon hydrodynamics.- 4 Mesoscopic
description of effective thermal conductivity in porous systems, nanocomposites
and nanofluids.- 5 Weakly nonlocal and nonlinear heat transport.- 6 Heat
transport with phonons and electrons and efficiency of thermoelectric generators.-
7 Perspectives.</p>
<p><b>David Jou</b> (born in Sitges,
Catalonia, Spain in 1953) is Full Professor of Physics of Condensed Matter at
the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. He has published 230 research
papers on nonequilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics as well as several
books, including <i>Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics</i>
(with J. Casas-Vázquez and G Lebon, Springer, now in its 4<sup>th</sup>
edition, 2014), <i>Thermodynamics of Fluids Under
Flow</i> (with J. Casas-Vázquez and M. Criado-Sancho, Springer, 2014), and <i>Understanding</i> <i>Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics</i> (with G. Lebon and J. Casas-Vázquez,
Springer, 2008).</p>

<p><b>Vito Antonio
Cimmelli</b> (born in Sarno, Italy in 1958) is a Full Professor of Mathematical
Physics at the University of Basilicata, Potenza, Italy. His research interests
are the mathematical methods of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, nonlocal
constitutive theories, and heat conduction far from equilibrium. Professor
Cimmelli is the author of around 90 research articles on these topics.</p>

<p><b>Antonio
Sellitto</b> (born in Nocera Inferiore, Italy in 1978) is a fixed-term researcher in
Mathematical Physics at the University of Salerno, Italy, and an adjunct
professor at the University of Basilicata, Potenza, Italy. In 2012 he was
awarded an INdAM-SIMAI prize for his PhD thesis on “Nonequilibrium Temperature
and Heat Transport Equations in Nanosystems”. He has published several papers
on nonequilibrium thermodynamics and heat transport in nanosystems.<br></p>
