S.R. De Groot

S.R. De Groot was a prominent physicist known for his work in non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which studies systems that are not in a state of balance. His research focused on understanding how energy and matter flow in these systems, which is crucial for processes like chemical reactions and biological functions. De Groot developed key principles and mathematical models that describe how systems evolve toward equilibrium, accounting for gradients in temperature, concentration, and pressure. His work has implications in various fields, from chemistry to engineering and biology, helping us better understand complex dynamic processes in nature.
