Extended Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics (ENET) is a groundbreaking approach in thermodynamics that departs from traditional empirical or statistical considerations and instead relies on fundamental thermodynamic laws. This approach offers powerful tools for understanding and solving complex problems in various fields, including physics, chemistry, and engineering.

ENET proposes final solutions that are readily usable and recognizable for students, researchers, and industry. By leveraging these solutions, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of the behavior of systems and processes that are not easily amenable to traditional methods.

One of the key features of ENET is its ability to combine easily the present theory with other fields of science, such as fluid and solid mechanics, heat and mass transfer processes, electricity and thermoelectricity, and so on. This integration allows for a more comprehensive understanding of complex systems and enables researchers to develop new insights and approaches to problem-solving.

In addition to its interdisciplinary nature, ENET also focuses on the behavior of systems as a function of their size. This is particularly important in nanosystems, where the properties of materials and devices can vary significantly due to their small dimensions. ENET provides a systematic approach to understanding the behavior of thermal, electrical, thermoelectric, photovoltaic, and nanofluid properties in nanosystems, enabling researchers to develop new technologies and materials that exploit the unique properties of these systems.

To validate the theory and enhance its applicability, ENET relies on experimental results. These results are analyzed, justified, and discussed, and the theory is then used to understand better experimental observations. This iterative process helps to refine and improve the theory, making it more reliable and useful for practical applications.

One of the significant contributions of this book is its focus on real-life applications in nanoscaled environments. Case studies and applications of ENET theories are explored, including nanoporous systems, solar panels, nanomedicine drug permeation, and properties of nanoporous scaffolds. These applications demonstrate the practical significance of ENET and its ability to address complex problems in various fields.

ENET is a versatile and powerful approach to thermodynamics that has the potential to revolutionize the way we understand and solve complex problems in various scientific and engineering disciplines. Its interdisciplinary nature, focus on systems behavior as a function of size, and ability to combine easily with other fields of science make it an appealing tool for academics, researchers, and industry.

In conclusion, Extended Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics provides a comprehensive and systematic presentation of this groundbreaking approach to thermodynamics. By leveraging fundamental thermodynamic laws, ENET offers powerful tools for understanding and solving complex problems in various fields. Its interdisciplinary nature, focus on systems behavior as a function of size, and ability to combine easily with other fields of science make it an appealing tool for academics, researchers, and industry. With its emphasis on real-life applications in nanoscaled environments, ENET has the potential to revolutionize the way we develop new technologies and materials.
