Kjelstrup and Bedeaux (both Norwegian U. of Science and Technology)
explain how to use non-equilibrium thermodynamics to describe the
transport of heat, mass, charge, and chemical reactions through complex,
heterogeneous media. Their textbook is designed for a graduate course
for physicists, physical chemists, and chemical or mechanical engineers;
it assumes a knowledge of basic thermodynamics.
