Abstract

The fundamental principles of classic thermodynamics as they apply in science and engineering are illustrated here in numerous, fully worked out examples. Equally valuable at undergraduate and first-year graduate levels, this powerful study tool takes students from fundamental laws to the behavior of PVT systems, to the treatment of flow processes, the basics of chemical thermodynamics and more. Hundreds of review problems with answers speed comprehension and reinforce learning.

Abstract

Chemical Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications presents a thorough development of the principles of thermodynamics--an old science to which the authors include the most modern applications, along with those of importance in developing the science and those of historical interest. The text is written in an informal but rigorous style, including anecdotes about some of the great thermodynamicists (with some of whom the authors have had a personal relationship), and focuses on ""real"" systems in the discussion and figures, in contrast to the generic examples that are often use

Abstract

This book is an excellent companion to Chemical Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications. Together they make a complete reference set for the practicing scientist. This volume extends the range of topics and applications to ones that are not usually covered in a beginning thermodynamics text. In a sense, the book covers a ""middle ground"" between the basic principles developed in a beginning thermodynamics textbook, and the very specialized applications that are a part of an ongoing research project. As such, it could prove invaluable to the practicing scientist who needs to apply t

Abstract

As the global climate changes, there are concomitant changes in global biological productivity. This book is devoted to the assessment of terrestrial Net Primary Productivity (""the total amount of energy acquired by green plants during photosynthesis, minus the energy lost through respiration""--APDS&T, pp. 1457). The book is comprised of three major sections. The first section is a review of the processes that operate globally to influence productivity--these are the initial conditions of any model of primary productivity. The second section is comprised of chapters that assess the contribut

Abstract

When talking about monuments, size undeniably matters - or does it? But how else can we measure monumentality? Bringing together researchers from various fields such as archaeology, museology, history, sociology, Mesoamerican studies, and art history, this book discusses terminological and methodological approaches in both theoretical contributions and various case studies. While focusing on architectural aspects, this volume also discusses the social meaning of monuments, the role of forced and free labour, as well as textual monumentality. The result is a modern interdisciplinary take on an important concept which is notoriously difficult to define.

Abstract

Clear and reader-friendly, this is an ideal textbook for students seeking an introduction to thermal physics. Written by an experienced teacher and extensively class-tested, Thermal Physics provides a comprehensive grounding in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and kinetic theory. A key feature of this text is its readily accessible introductory chapters, which begin with a review of fundamental ideas. Entropy, conceived microscopically and statistically, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics are introduced early in the book. Throughout, topics are built on a conceptual foundation of four linked elements: entropy and the Second Law, the canonical probability distribution, the partition function, and the chemical potential. As well as providing a solid preparation in the basics of the subject, the text goes on to explain exciting recent developments such as Bose-Einstein condensation and critical phenomena. Key equations are highlighted throughout, and each chapter contains a summary of essential ideas and an extensive set of problems of varying degrees of difficulty. A free solutions manual is available for instructors (ISBN 0521 658608). Thermal Physics is suitable for both undergraduates and graduates in physics and astronomy.

Abstract

The book (' The Energy Needs Of Humanity Through Time: From The Industrial Revolution To Type I Civilization') is about global consumption of energy and its impact on our planet. Energy demand is a quite dynamic phenomenon and depends heavily on technological development, which is particularly evident during industrial revolutions, which had improved the quality of life for the inhabitants, but lead to increase in energy consumption. However~the economic progress did not account for tangible physical limits of our planet, which manifested in rise in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and a rapid increase in average annual global temperature. The consequences of this type of behavior are clear – future global warming, rising sea levels and direct threat to vast, low-lying areas, as well as a rapid increase in the number and consequences of extreme weather events such as storms, prolonged rainfall, and the like. A path toward less energy intense future requires rapid reductions of fossil fuels usage but also a radical shift towards larger energy efficiency. The book is intended as a source of key data showing how we have arrived at the current state of energy consumption and understanding of climate change. Knjiga govori o globalni porabi energije in njenem vplivu na planet. Energetske potrebe so izrazito dinamičen pojav, ki je odvisen od tehnološkega razvoja, kar je najbolj opazno skozi industrijske revolucije, v katerih novi izdelki in tehnologije, ki načeloma izboljšujejo kakovost življenja prebivalcem, hkrati tudi povečujejo porabo energije. Ob vedno večjem gospodarskemu napredku ne upoštevamo fizikalnih omejitev našega planeta, zato narašča količina toplogrednih plinov v ozračju, razmeroma hitro se povečujejo povprečne letne temperature planeta. Posledice takšnega delovanja tudi v prihodnje so jasne – nadaljnje segrevanje planeta, porast gladine morja in neposredna ogroženost obširnih nižje ležečih območij, hitro povečevanje števila izjemnih vremenskih dogodkov z vse hujšimi posledicami, kot so viharji, dolgotrajna deževja in podobno. Prehod v energetsko manj intenzivno prihodnost zahteva hitro radikalno odpoved fosilnim gorivom, a tudi precejšnje znižanje porabe vse energije. Knjiga vsebuje ključne podatki, ki kažejo, kako smo prišli do današnje stopnje porabe energije in razumevanja podnebnih sprememb.
