Non-equilibrium thermodynamics for stationary states - Prof. Robert Hołyst, IChF PAN

Unlock the Mysteries of Thermodynamics in an Engaging Seminar!
Equilibrium thermodynamics explores states where macroscopic energy fluxes vanish, remaining steady and unchanging over time. On the other hand, non-equilibrium stationary states defy equilibrium by maintaining constant energy fluxes while also being time-independent.
In this seminar, I’ll present a groundbreaking unified theory that elegantly bridges these two realms of thermodynamics. Through a range of compelling examples, you’ll discover how this framework applies to:
Ideal gas flowing through a pipe,
Heat flows in ideal and van der Waals gases,
Reversible and irreversible reactions in flow reactors (e.g., CSTRs),
Reversible reactions in photoreactors,
The fascinating dynamics of Rayleigh-Bénard convection,
And even unsteady flow systems.
This seminar is designed to be highly didactic and engaging, packed with practical insights to enhance your understanding of equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Whether you're a seasoned expert or just curious, you’ll walk away with new perspectives and tools. Don’t miss out-expand your knowledge and have fun along the way!
