Thermodynamics and Fluctuations far from Equilibrium

Focusing on thermodynamics beyond equilibrium, this book explores the theoretical and experimental aspects of systems that are time-dependent or in non-equilibrium stationary states. It covers topics such as the formulation of thermodynamics for these systems, dissipation and efficiency in various reactions, and stochastic theory related to fluctuations. Aimed at chemists, physicists, biochemists, and engineers, it seeks to provide a coherent understanding of the subject, potentially serving as a resource for graduate and undergraduate studies.
