This monograph treats the irreversible processes and phenomenon of thermodynamics-non-equilibrium thermodynamics. This monograph covers statistical foundations and applications of the field with special emphasis on fluctuation theory, theory of stochastic processes, kinetic theory of gases, and derivation of the Onsager reciprocal relations. This monograph is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate physics/chemistry students.
