Complexities of Scales in Space and Time
by Michael H. Peters
Molecular Thermodynamics and Transport Phenomena takes a quantitative approach to characterizing the relationship between scales of time, energy, space, and chosen structural hierarchies, allowing the reader to apply chemical engineering thermodynamic functions.
