Thermodynamics concerns the foundation of all branches of physical sciences. Therefore, this is a required course for all mechanical engineering students. Also, the students of all other branches of ...

Thermodynamics is the science that deals with the transformation of energy from one form to another. Treatment of this subject requires a number of definitions: A system is the part of the universe of ...

This is a self-contained, concise, rigorous book introducing the reader to the basics of atmospheric thermodynamics, and the author is a highly respected researcher in this field. This new edition has ...

Elementary classical thermodynamics, applications of the first law and the second laws of thermodynamics to power and refrigeration cycles, mixtures and solutions, thermodynamic relations, chemical ...

The laws of Thermodynamics are introduced and used to determine equilibrium states of systems, conservation of energy and directionality of energy transformation. Mathematical analysis of closed and ...

"Lukas (U. Stuttgart emeritus) and co-authors Sundman (Paul Sabatier U.) and independent scientist Fries provide the first introductory guide to this method of computation that combines data from ...

Thermodynamics is a science that considers those relationships existing between thermal energy and work, and the conversion from one form to another. It does this by considering and evaluating the ...

A surprising reversal of our usual understanding of the second law of thermodynamics shows that it may be possible for heat to move in the “wrong” direction, flowing from a cold area to a warm one ...
