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...

Industrial Heat Pump-Assisted Wood Drying (Advances in Drying Science and Technology)

CRC Press, 2018

This book discusses conventional as well as unconventional wood drying technologies. It covers fundamental thermophysical and energetic aspects and integrates two complex thermodynamic systems, conventional kilns and heat pumps, aimed at improving the energy performance of dryers and the final quality of dried lumber. It discusses...

Anisotropic Metal Chalcogenide Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Assembly, and Applications (SpringerBriefs in Materials)

Springer, 2019

This book explores the recent advances in designing and synthesizing one- and two-dimensional metal chalcogenide nanostructures, along with their practical applications, helping readers understand what has happened, and what is currently happening in the field of nanotechnology. It also includes a comprehensive table showing...

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...

Thermodynamic Cycles: Computer-Aided Design and Optimization (Chemical Industries)

CRC Press, 2003

Development in classical thermodynamics is, logically and traditionally, aimed at the analysis of cycles. Computational efforts impose harsh constraints on the kinds and amounts of cycle analyses that can reasonably be attempted. Cycle simulations cannot approach realistic complexity. Even relative sensitivity analyses based on...

Thermodynamic Models for Industrial Applications: From Classical and Advanced Mixing Rules to Association Theories

John Wiley & Sons, 2010

Using an applications perspective Thermodynamic Models forIndustrial Applications provides a unified framework for thedevelopment of various thermodynamic models, ranging from theclassical models to some of the most advanced ones. Among these arethe Cubic Plus Association Equation of State (CPA EoS) and thePerturbed Chain Statistical...

The Thermodynamic Universe: Exploring the Limits of Physics

World Scientific Publishing, 2008

Particle Physics and High Energy Physics have stagnated since the early 1970s. Now, the underlying principle of reductionism -- so sacred to twentieth-century physics -- is itself being questioned. This book examines these tumultuous developments that are leading to a paradigm shift and a new horizon for Physics.

Presenting the new paradigm...

Introduction to Thermodynamics and Kinetic Theory of Matter (Physics Textbook)

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

An updated and expanded translation of the highly popular Russian textbook, Introduction to Thermodynamics and Kinetic Theory of Matter examines equilibrium and kinetic properties of matter – gas, liquid, and solid – using the general principles of thermodynamics and kinetic theory. Readable and accessible throughout, this book provides...

Advanced Thermodynamics Engineering (Computational Mechanics and Applied Analysis Series)

CRC Press, 2001

We have written this text for engineers who wish to grasp the engineering physics of thermodynamic concepts and apply the knowledge in their field of interest rather than merely digest the abstract generalized concepts and mathematical relations governing thermodynamics. While the fundamental concepts in any discipline are relatively...

Introduction to Continuum Mechanics

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This textbook treats solids and fluids in a balanced manner, using thermodynamic restrictions on the relation between applied forces and material responses. This unified approach can be appreciated by engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians with some background in engineering mechanics. It has many examples and about 150 exercises for...

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...

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...
