THIS book is the outcome of the authors' teaching experience, and as one might expect, covers the ground usually required for a university degree. The subject-matter includes the Fourier equation, the ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers have made a breakthrough in applying the first law of thermodynamics to complex systems. The law is a bedrock of physics, but has long ...

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that studies the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. It’s especially focused on energy transfer and conversion and has a lot to contribute to ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

A NEW edition of Prof. Partington's “Text-book of Thermodynamics with special reference to Chemistry” (1913) has been desired for some time, and those who are familiar with that work will welcome it ...

The laws of thermodynamics are three principles describing the way energy moves within a system and is transferred between groups of objects. The laws have their origins in studies of heat and ...

Statistical thermodynamics plays a vital linking role between quantum theory and chemical thermodynamics, yet students often find the subject unpalatable. In this updated version of a popular text, ...

Quantum mechanics and classical physics don’t always get along, and can sometimes form apparent paradoxes where observed quantum behavior violates well-established physical laws. In quantum mechanics, ...

ABSTRACT: Hurricanes and tropical storms are heat engines operating between warm tropical oceans and the cold upper troposphere. The purpose of this article is to examine the existing theories for ...
