JOURNAL OF NON-EQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMICS

《非平衡热力学杂志》是一个国际出版机构，为科学、工程和相关自然系统中的非平衡现象提供新的观点、见解和结果。该杂志的中心目标是在科学和工程之间提供一座桥梁，促进科学交流：新观察到的非平衡现象；解释它们的分析或模糊模型；描述非平衡现象的新方法。这本杂志涉及机械、化学和生物化学工程师、物理学家、化学家和应用数学家，以及计算科学家。贡献应提出新的方法来分析、建模和优化工程相关性的过程，如质量、动量和能量的传输过程、液相分离、活细胞的繁殖等。对工程和相关自然系统中的非平衡现象的基本认识的贡献是最优先的。该杂志发表学术研究论文、受邀评论文章、简短的交流以及对已发表论文的“评论和回复笔记”。

The Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics serves as an international publication organ for new ideas, insights and results on non-equilibrium phenomena in science, engineering and related natural systems. The central aim of the journal is to provide a bridge between science and engineering and to promote scientific exchange on: newly observed non-equilibrium phenomena; analytic or fuzzy models for their interpretation; new methods to describe non-equilibrium phenomena. The journal addresses mechanical, chemical, and biochemical engineers, physicists, chemists and applied mathematicians, as well as computational scientists. Contributions should present novel approaches to analyzing, modeling and optimizing processes of engineering relevance such as transport processes of mass, momentum and energy, separation of fluid phases, reproduction of living cells, and many others. Highest priority is given to contributions which add to the basic understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena in engineering and related natural systems. The journal publishes scholarly research papers, invited review articles, short communications and “comment-and-reply-notes” on papers already published.
