Thermodynamics

Dover Publications, 1956

In this classic of modern science, the Nobel Laureate presents a clear treatment of systems, the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, entropy, thermodynamic potentials, and much more. Calculus required.

THIS book ori~nated in a course of lectures held at Columbia University, New York, during the summer session of...

ThermoPoetics: Energy in Victorian Literature and Science

MIT Press, 2010

In ThermoPoetics, Barri Gold sets out to show us how analogous, intertwined, and mutually productive poetry and physics may be. Charting the simultaneous emergence of the laws of thermodynamics in literature and in physics that began in the 1830s, Gold finds that not only can science influence literature, but literature can influence...

A FAREWELL TO ENTROPY: Statistical Thermodynamics Based on Information

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

The principal message of this book is that thermodynamics and statistical mechanics will benefit from replacing the unfortunate, misleading and mysterious term entropy with a more familiar, meaningful and appropriate term such as information, missing information or uncertainty. This replacement would facilitate the interpretation of the driving...

Theoretical Thermotics: Transformation Thermotics and Extended Theories for Thermal Metamaterials

Springer, 2020

This book focuses on theoretical thermotics, the theory of transformation thermotics and its extended theories for the active control of macroscopic thermal phenomena of artificial systems, which is in sharp contrast to classical thermodynamics comprising the four thermodynamic laws for the passive description of macroscopic thermal phenomena of...

Cryogenic Mixed Refrigerant Processes (International Cryogenics Monograph Series)

Springer, 2008

This monograph deals with mixed refrigerant processes that operate at temperatures less than 123 K. Most conventional cryogenic refrigerators and liquefiers operatewith pure fluids, the major exception being natural gas liquefiers that use mixed refrigerant processes. The fundamental aspects ofmixed refrigerant processes, though...

Heterogeneous Electrode Processes and Localized Corrosion (Wiley Series in Corrosion)

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

Sheds new light on the significance of electrode inhomogeneity and electrochemical heterogeneity

A major contribution to the field of electrochemistry, this book—based on a thorough review of the literature and author Yongjun Tan's twenty years of pioneering research—examines electrochemical heterogeneity and...

Giant Planets of Our Solar System: Atmospheres, Composition, and Structure (Springer Praxis Books / Astronomy and Planetary Sciences)

Springer, 2009

"Irwin […] has done an outstanding job of presenting material geared to upper-division undergraduates and beginning graduate students." (J.R. Kraus (University of Denver), Choice Feb. 2004)

This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The...

Phase Transformations: Examples from Titanium and Zirconium Alloys (Pergamon Materials Series)

Elsevier Limited, 2005

Covers phase transformations and phase reactions with examples from titanium and zirconium based systems

The terms phase transitions and phase transformations are often used in an interchangeable manner in the metallurgical literature.

In this book, transformations driven by pressure changes,...

Embodied Minds in Action

Oxford University Press, 2009

In Embodied Minds in Action, Robert Hanna and Michelle Maiese work out a unified treatment of three fundamental philosophical problems: the mind-body problem, the problem of mental causation, and the problem of action. This unified treatment rests on two basic claims. The first is that conscious, intentional minds like ours are essentially...

Chemical Energy and Exergy: An Introduction to Chemical Thermodynamics for Engineers

Elsevier Limited, 2004

This book is a beginners introduction to chemical thermodynamics for engineers.
In the textbook efforts have been made to visualize as clearly as possible the main concepts of thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy and entropy, thus making them more perceivable. Furthermore, intricate formulae in thermodynamics have been discussed as...

Energy: Production, Conversion, Storage, Conservation, and Coupling (Green Energy and Technology)

Springer, 2012

Understanding the sustainable use of energy in various processes is an integral part of engineering and scientific studies, which rely on a sound knowledge of energy systems. Whilst many institutions now offer degrees in energy-related programs, a comprehensive textbook, which introduces and explains sustainable energy systems and can be used...
