The Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics serves as an international publication organ for new ideas, insights and results on non-equilibrium phenomena in science, engineering and related natural systems. The central aim of the journal is to provide a bridge between science and engineering and to promote scientific exchange on: newly observed non-equilibrium phenomena; analytic or fuzzy models for their interpretation; new methods to describe non-equilibrium phenomena. The journal addresses mechanical, chemical, and biochemical engineers, physicists, chemists and applied mathematicians, as well as computational scientists. Contributions should present novel approaches to analyzing, modeling and optimizing processes of engineering relevance such as transport processes of mass, momentum and energy, separation of fluid phases, reproduction of living cells, and many others. Highest priority is given to contributions which add to the basic understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena in engineering and related natural systems. The journal publishes scholarly research papers, invited review articles, short communications and “comment-and-reply-notes” on papers already published.

《非平衡熱力學雜志》是一個國際出版機構，為科學、工程和相關自然系統中的非平衡現象提供新的觀點、見解和結果。該雜志的中心目標是在科學和工程之間提供一座橋梁，促進科學交流：新觀察到的非平衡現象；解釋它們的分析或模糊模型；描述非平衡現象的新方法。這本雜志涉及機械、化學和生物化學工程師、物理學家、化學家和應用數學家，以及計算科學家。貢獻應提出新的方法來分析、建模和優化工程相關性的過程，如質量、動量和能量的傳輸過程、液相分離、活細胞的繁殖等。對工程和相關自然系統中的非平衡現象的基本認識的貢獻是最優先的。該雜志發表學術研究論文、受邀評論文章、簡短的交流以及對已發表論文的“評論和回復筆記”。
