In Entropy of Complex Processes and Systems, the author uses the notion of entropy for describing statistical properties of complex systems. This makes it possible to create a methodology for controlling and optimizing complex processes in practically all branches of industry involving any transformation of materials or substances. The author formalizes the understanding of many complex processes, including the development of the methodology of analytical computation of complex processes as applied in many industries such as ore processing or, more generally, in areas of natural sciences. The adequacy of the results of these calculations is confirmed by numerous experimental data obtained both on pilots and industrial facilities. The book also provides a thorough analysis of the underlying physical foundations of entropy performed from new standpoints that are of interest to theoreticians studying contemporary expositions of the general approach to extended thermodynamics. Provides methodologies for controlling and optimizing complex processes in branches of industry that involve transformation of materials or substancesDescribes entropy as the universal characteristics of a stochastic process independent of the systemIntroduces a new definition of entropy specifically related to dynamical phenomena INDICE: 1. Brief history, properties and problems of the entropy parameter 2. Statistical component of entropy 3. Dynamic component of entropy 4. Checking the adequacy of entropic model of two-phase flows in separation regimes 5. Place of the entropy parameter in modern science
