{"product_id":"statistical-dynamics-radu-balescu-9781860940460","title":"Statistical Dynamics: Matter Out of Equilibrium","description":"In the first part of this book, classical nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is developed. Starting from the Hamiltonian dynamics of the molecules, it leads through the irreversible kinetic equations to the level of fluid mechanics. For simple systems, all the transport coefficients are determined by the molecular properties.The second part of the book treats complex systems that require a more extensive use of statistical concepts. Such problems, which are at the forefront of research, include: continuous time random walks, non-Markovian diffusion processes, percolation and related critical phenomena, transport on fractal structures, transport and deterministic chaos. These \"strange transport processes\" differ significantly from the usual (diffusive) transport. Their inclusion in a general treatise on statistical mechanics is a special feature of this invaluable book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Radu Balescu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1860940463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781860940460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imperial College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.56h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Radu Balescu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448004260095,"sku":"9781860940460","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03a4a039-4306-4f5c-8102-ae2f2145987b.jpg?v=1777236247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/statistical-dynamics-radu-balescu-9781860940460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
