Kinetic Theory of Nonequilibrium Ensembles, Irreversible Thermodynamics, and Generalized Hydrodynamics

The author Byung Chan Eu received a BSc degree from Seoul National University, Korea and a PhD degree from Brown University, USA. After a research fellowship at Harvard University he has been on the staff of the Chemistry Department, McGill University since 1967. At present he is a professor emeritus carrying on research. He has served as an adjunct professor at the Korea Institute of Advanced Science and as either visiting professor or visiting scholar at MIT, Standford University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, and Université Libre de Bruxelles. He is the author of 5 monographs on kinetic theory, nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, generalized thermodynamics, transport processes of fluids, semiclassical theory of molecular scattering, and a textbook on chemical thermodynamics and numerous original papers on scattering theories, kinetic theories, statistical mechanics, transport coefficients, and fluid mechanics in the leading journals of the fields.
