Multiscale thermodynamics is a theory of the relations among the levels of investigation of complex systems. It includes the classical equilibrium thermodynamics as a special case, but it is applicable to both static and time evolving processes in externally and internally driven macroscopic systems that are far from equilibrium and are investigated at the microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic levels. In this paper we formulate multiscale thermodynamics, explain its origin, and illustrate it in mesoscopic dynamics that combines levels.
多尺度热力学是一种关于复杂系统研究层次之间关系的理论。它将经典平衡热力学作为一种特殊情况包含在内,但适用于外部和内部驱动的远离平衡的宏观系统中的静态和随时间演化的过程,这些系统在微观、介观和宏观层面上进行研究。在本文中,我们阐述了多尺度热力学,解释了其起源,并在结合了不同层次的介观动力学中对其进行了说明。
