Description
This authoritative summary of the basics of small system, or nonmacroscopic, thermodynamics was written by the field's founder. Originally published in two volumes, the text remains essential reading in an area in which the practical aim is to derive equations that provide interconnections among various thermodynamic functions. Part I introduces the basics of small system thermodynamics, exploring environmental variables, noting throughout the ways...

Description
Boltzmann's equation (or Boltzmann-like equations) appears extensively in such disparate fields as laser scattering, solid-state physics, nuclear transport, and beyond the conventional boundaries of physics and engineering, in the fields of cellular proliferation and automobile traffic flow. This introductory graduate-level course for students of physics and engineering offers detailed presentations of the basic modern theory of Boltzmann's equation,...

Thermodynamics is a text for graduate and post graduate students. The focus is on macroscopic thermodynamics-discussions of modeling and molecular situations are integrated throughout Underpinning this text is the knowledge that while thermodynamics describes natural phenomena, those descriptions are the products of creative, systematic minds. Nature unfolds without reference to human concepts of energy, entropy, or fugacity. Natural complexity can...

Una breve pero «dinámica» historia de la energía y del calor, una interesante manera de aprender la evolución de las ideas acerca de la temperatura, cómo entendemos el mundo que nos rodea, la interrelación entre filosofía, ciencia y política...Todo eso y mucho es Átomos, elementos, calor.
Javier Luzuriaga explora en estas páginas las vicisitudes asociadas al estudio de la termodinámica y la «carrera» por llegar al cero absoluto. La historia...

Description
Is it really possible to measure energy? Of course, it is and this book will teach you how. Discussed in this book are the different tools used to measure the gain or loss of energy. Proper identification of each tool and how it's used will aid in reaching the correct scientific conclusion.

Les progrès réalisés dans le domaine non linéaire sont beaucoup plus récents. On connaît cependant à leur sujet un critère d'évolution général régissant le comportement d'un système dissipatif, soumis à des contraintes stationnaires (Paul Glansdorff et Ilya Prigogine, 1954). Critères d'évolution...

Description
This is the dramatic and inspirational first-person story of theoretical physicist, Dr. Ronald Mallett, who recently discovered the basic equations for a working time machine that he believes can be used as a transport vehicle to the past. Combining elements of Rocket Boys and Elegant Universe, Time Traveler follows Mallett's discovery of Einstein's work on space-time, his study of Godel's work on a solution of Einstein's equation that might allow...

Description
The first railway chemical laboratory was opened in 1864 by the London & North Western Railway at Crewe, and the last ones lost their direct link to the rail industry on their privatisation in 1996. Whatever their expertise, every railway chemist or 'stink' has been asked the same question: "What do you actually do"? That is precisely the question this book attempts to answer. It covers many aspects of the work, from a BR chemist going to San Francisco...

Description
The book begins with familiar designs found all around and inside us (such as the 'trees' of river basins, human lungs, blood and city traffic). It then shows how all flow systems are driven by power from natural engines everywhere, and how they are endlessly shaped because of freedom. Finally, Professor Bejan explains how people, like everything else that moves on earth, are driven by power derived from our "engines" that consume fuel and food, and...
