Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics and the Production of Entropy Life, Earth, and Beyond /
The present volume studies the application of concepts from non-equilibrium thermodynamics to a variety of research topics. Emphasis is on the Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) principle and applications to Geosphere-Biosphere couplings. Written by leading researchers form a wide range of background,...
