Transport Coefficients of Fluids

Viac o knihe

The book explores the density fluctuation theory of transport coefficients in both simple and complex liquids, integrating kinetic theory, the van der Waals equation, and modified free volume theory. It emphasizes the importance of understanding transport properties in the context of condensed matter physics, which has been overshadowed by trends in nanoscience and bioscience. The author argues that a solid foundation in macroscopic and molecular theories is essential for comprehending the behavior of materials, particularly in relation to statistical mechanics and thermophysical properties.
