Реферат:
Thermodynamics of nonequilibrium and irreversible processes is a comparatively new area of thermodynamics that goes back to the 1950s. This area is traditionally considered very complex and inapplicable for routine chemical investigations. Therefore, the traditional version of this discipline usually is taught to only those chemical students who have a very strong background in physics.
For this book, the author has adapted the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes course that has been taught since 1995 at the Department of Natural Sciences of the Novosibirsk State University. It was determined that the subject can be taught in such a way that anyone who has formal physicochemical education in the fields of classical thermodynamics of equilibrium processes and traditional chemical kinetics should be able to understand the topic.
Moreover, the discipline combines thermodynamics and chemical kinetics and thus may be helpful to researchers who are engaged in studying complex chemical transformations—in particular, catalytic transformations. For example, some of the important concepts in this subject are the conditions of kinetic irreversibility of complex stepwise stoichiometric reactions and rate-determining and rate-limiting stages. The lecturers in traditional chemical kinetics recognize that these concepts are not simple ones and tend to “conceal” them in their courses. Fortunately, these concepts appear to be consistently and properly defined in terms of thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes.
Traditionally, the introduction to thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes is introduced at the end of a course on classical equilibrium thermodynamics. However, it has become evident that for successful learning, thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes should be presented only after a formal course of chemical kinetics. For this reason, it was decided in the Novosibirsk State University to offer thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes as a separate course to finalize and generalize the common semestrial courses of classical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics at the Department of Natural Sciences. Since 1999, the course has been offered to all four-year students at the department and updated constantly because of progress in the field. As a result, the scope and sequence of this course differ considerably from other versions.
This book is a synopsis of lectures on thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes and from a course on thermodynamics of operating catalysts, both from Novosibirsk State University. The content of this book mostly reflects the author's particular scientific interests. Therefore, the author apologizes to those who expected to find information on irreversible processes like diffusion in synthesis materials. It is hoped that the author's approach to teaching nonequilibrium thermodynamics will be adopted by others.
The author would like to express his cordial gratitude to Mrs. Natalia Chistyakova and Elena Nikiforova, who patiently assisted him during the preparation of the lectures for Russian-speaking students, as well as with translations and preparation of the English version.
