About Henning
Henning Struchtrup joined the 樱花影视 in 2001. He obtained a diploma and PhD in engineering physics from the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, and held postdoc positions in Berlin, Catania (Italy) and Minneapolis (USA). His teaching and research cover a wide range of topics in thermodynamics, from applications in energy systems, over nonequilibrium thermodynamics, to rarefied gas dynamics.
He authored numerous scientific contributions and a monography on Macroscopic Transport Equations for Rarefied Gas Flows (Springer 2007). His textbooks Thermodynamics and Energy Conversion (2nd ed, 2024) and A Thermodynamic Introduction to Transport Phenomena (2024) are rooted in his desire to make thermodynamics, in particular entropy and the second law, accessible and relevant to students in engineering and applied sciences
