Non-equilibrium Evaporation and Condensation Processes: Analytical Solutions (Mathematical Engineering)

Springer, 2019

This monograph is focused mostly on the exposition of analytical methods for the solution of problems of strong phase change. A new theoretical model is proved useful in describing, with acceptable accuracy, problems of strong evaporation and condensation. The book is the first to treat the problem of asymmetry for...

Fundamentals of Galaxy Dynamics, Formation and Evolution

UCL Press, 2020

Galaxies, along with their underlying dark matter halos, constitute the building blocks of the universe. Of all the fundamental forces, gravity is the dominant one that drives the evolution of structures from small density seeds to the galaxies we see today. The interactions among myriads of stars, or dark matter particles, in a...

Entropy And Its Physical Meaning

CRC Press, 1996

This text presents a comprehensive approach to entropy, recognizing that it is a concept often misunderstood. Beginning with an historical classical viewpoint, a statistical view then follows to give a more physical picture.

This book is a revised version of my earlier book Entropy and Low Temperature Physics, with here rather less...

Time And Thermodynamics (Physics in Our World)

Facts on File, 2007

A LEGEND OF the ancient Greeks tells the story of a god called Prometheus, who taught people how to make fire. This gave a tremendous boost to humanity, and the other gods were furious with Prometheus for allowing humans to wield such potency.

Although the story of Prometheus is a myth, the ability to harness fire and heat did provide...

It is quite obvious that the bulk of mankind, value science, chiefly for the practical advantages it brings with it. PART – I PHYSICS Sl. No. TOPICS PAGE No. 1. Wave Theory...

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Physics (Oxford Handbooks)

Oxford University Press, 2013

This Oxford Handbook provides an overview of many of the topics that currently engage philosophers of physics. It surveys new issues and the problems that have become a focus of attention in recent years. It also provides up-to-date discussions of the still very important problems that dominated the field in the past.
