Thermodynamics is the branch of science concerned with heat and
temperature and their relation to energy and work. Being concentrated on a
wide range of applications of thermodynamics, this book gathers a series of
contributions by the finest scientists in the world, gathered in an orderly
manner. It can be used in post-graduate courses for students and as a
reference book, as it is written in a language pleasing to the reader.
Carefully observing everyday motion allows us to deduce six essential
statements: everyday motion is continuous, conserved, relative, reversible,
mirror-invariant and lazy. This text explores how these six results are deduced
and how they fit with all those observations that seem to contradict them.
This book presents the selection of various high level
contributions involving thermodynamics. The book goes from the fundamentals up
to several applications in different scientific fields. The content of the book
has been classified in six sections: Classical Thermodynamics, Statistical
Thermodynamics, Property Prediction in Thermodynamics, Material and Products,
Non Equilibrium and Thermodynamics in Diverse Areas.
This
book covers: Probability, Thermodynamics,
Ergodicity and the Approach to Equilibrium, Statistical Ensembles, Noninteracting Quantum Systems, Interacting Systems,
Mean Field Theory of Phase Transitions,
Nonequilibrium Phenomena
