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 ...

Is it not true that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is contradicted by the known facts of diffusion? When, for instance, masses of hydrogen and nitrogen are separated by a palladium partition ...

Understand how the microscopic properties of atoms and molecules relate to classical thermodynamic properties and to some non-equilibrium phenomena Analyze and estimate how thermodynamic materials ...

This title is available on our Higher Education website. Building up gradually from first principles, this unique introduction to modern thermodynamics integrates classical, statistical and molecular ...

A fundamental rule that determines the fate of the universe The second law of thermodynamics means hot things always cool unless you do something to stop them. It expresses a fundamental and ...

Quantitative study of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics. Application of the laws of thermodynamics, concepts of equilibrium, equations of state, and properties of solutions to problems of ...

This unique and self-contained book presents a unifying perspective of such open quantum systems, first describing the fundamental theory behind these formidably complex systems, before introducing ...

Examples of complex phenomena include economies, ecosystems and societies as well as the global climate. These types of systems are often addressed with the tools of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. It ...

Physicists and computer scientists have been trying to connect thermodynamics and computation for more than a century. The ...

In the Electrochemical Energy Technology department, electrochemical reactors and storage systems play a key role in shaping our future with renewable energy from the sun and wind. These include ...
