This book is meant as a bridge between physicists, chemists and engineers. It has been written on the basis of many years of teaching at the Chemical Engineering School, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. This new second edition has been revised in order to put more emphasis on the use of irreversible thermodynamics as a tool for development of sustainable chemical and mechanical processes in the industry.

Why Irreversible thermodynamics?; The entropy reduction; Flux equations and phenomenological coefficients; The lost work in the aluminium electrolysis; The state of minimum energy production in optimally controlled systems.
