Entropy of Complex Processes and Systems

Entropy of Complex Processes and Systems formalizes our understanding of many complex processes, including the development of the methodology of analytical computation of complex processes as applied in many industries, such as ore processing, or more generally, in areas of natural sciences. The adequacy of the results of these calculations is confirmed by numerous experimental data obtained both on pilots and industrial facilities. The book also provides a thorough analysis of the underlying physical foundations of entropy performed from new standpoints that are of interest to theoreticians studying contemporary expositions.

Provides methodologies for controlling and optimizing complex processes in branches of industry that involve transformation of materials or substancesDescribes entropy as the universal characteristic of a stochastic process independent of the systemIntroduces a new definition of entropy specifically related to dynamical phenomena
