《非平衡熱力學(xué)雜志》是一個國際出版機構(gòu)，為科學(xué)、工程和相關(guān)自然系統(tǒng)中的非平衡現(xiàn)象提供新的觀點、見解和結(jié)果。該雜志的中心目標是在科學(xué)和工程之間提供一座橋梁，促進科學(xué)交流：新觀察到的非平衡現(xiàn)象；解釋它們的分析或模糊模型；描述非平衡現(xiàn)象的新方法。這本雜志涉及機械、化學(xué)和生物化學(xué)工程師、物理學(xué)家、化學(xué)家和應(yīng)用數(shù)學(xué)家，以及計算科學(xué)家。貢獻應(yīng)提出新的方法來分析、建模和優(yōu)化工程相關(guān)性的過程，如質(zhì)量、動量和能量的傳輸過程、液相分離、活細胞的繁殖等。對工程和相關(guān)自然系統(tǒng)中的非平衡現(xiàn)象的基本認識的貢獻是最優(yōu)先的。該雜志發(fā)表學(xué)術(shù)研究論文、受邀評論文章、簡短的交流以及對已發(fā)表論文的“評論和回復(fù)筆記”。

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.
