Authors:
- Offers a simple and efficient approach for the study of partial equilibria that occur en route to final equilibrium
- Allows readers to view the achievable set of partial equilibria with regards to constraints on kinetics, energy and mass exchange
- Examples in the text illustrate application of the suggested models in chemical technology, energy and ecology
- No other book addresses non-equilibrium and irreversible processes in terms of equilibrium thermodynamics
