Thermodynamics and statistical physics. Volume 3. Theory of nonequilibrium systems. Kvasnikov I.A.

This book is a textbook on the second part of the course “Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics”, read by the author since 1963 at the Faculty of Faculty of Moscow State University for students of the 4th year of the daytime department. The material of the manual includes the theory of fluctuations, the Brownian movement and issues of the theory of random processes, the thermodynamic theory of irreversible processes, kinetic equations in statistical mechanics, as well as a detailed analysis of the “spin echo”, the thermodynamic consideration of the effect of the temperature separation of gas in the vortex tube, etc. < /p>

the manual is divided into two parts: the main one, which mainly reflects the material included in the lecture course, and additional (tasks and additional issues formed in the form of tasks that do not go beyond the subjects established by the program), which allows you to study some The issues of statistical mechanics in more detail.

The manual is designed for students and graduate students of physical specialties, as well as specialists interested in the problems of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.
