Mesoscopic Theories of Heat Transport in Nanosystems

by Vito Antonio Cimmelli, Antonio Sellitto, David Jou, et al.

Book Overview

This book presents generalized heat-conduction laws which, from a mesoscopic perspective, are relevant to new applications (especially in nanoscale heat transfer, nanoscale thermoelectric phenomena, and in diffusive-to-ballistic regime) and at the same time keep up with the pace of current microscopic research. The equations presented in the book are compatible with generalized formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics, going beyond the local-equilibrium...
