Irreversible thermodynamics is an extension of classical thermodynamics to give a unified method of treating transport processes. This book develops the theoretical basis and relates it to reality by examples. These theories are then applied to solve some important problems within varied fields of science and technology. To facilitate understanding, the basic equations are derived in a simple manner, using a minimum of mathematics.

An investigation was made to determine the effect of rolling temperature, roll pass design, amount of reduction, and heat treatment before and after rolling on the anisotropic growth rate of uranium under irradiation. The growth rate was found to increase with decreasing rolling temperature and with increasing reduction of area at 300 deg C. The rate of elongation was proportional to the amount of (010) component present or, where shortening occurred, to the amount of (100) component. Oval-edge-oval roll passes resulted in somewhat higher irradiation growth rates than did round roll passes. Recrystallization after rolling effectively reduced the irradiation growth rate of uranium rolled at temperatures of 500 deg C and lower. Irradiation caused length shortening in uranium which was beta quenched after being round-rolled at temperatures of 400 deg C and above, and which was beta quenched after being oval- rolled at temperatures of 300 deg C and above.
