This book covers various fields relevant to navigation, including Earth's magnetic field, gravity field, topography, celestial polarization field, electrostatic field, and relativistic celestial field effects. It introduces the principles and applications of navigation positioning using various natural field navigation and terrain-assisted methods, including gravity field navigation positioning, geomagnetic field navigation positioning, terrain-assisted navigation positioning, polarization field navigation positioning, electrostatic field navigation positioning, and relativistic effect verification. This book comprehensively introduces the algorithm principles and engineering implementation approaches, providing basic theoretical support for precision navigation positioning and deep space exploration. Based on the principles of gravity, geomagnetic, and terrain-assisted navigation positioning, corresponding to the universal gravitational force and Earth's rotation in Newtonian mechanics, it combines polarization field navigation positioning with the energy field effect of solar incident light waves, as well as electrostatic field navigation positioning with relativistic effect verification. This forms a relatively complete theoretical technical system and abstracts the mathematical essence of each link in the geomagnetic, gravity, and terrain navigation positioning systems. Taking mechanism exploration and algorithm implementation as the basic approach, it has confirmed the theoretical correctness and practical feasibility of natural field navigation positioning through verification with actual measurement data. This book is mainly targeted at professionals, researchers, students, and readers interested in deep space, deep Earth, deep sea, and polar exploration, as well as those working in the field of navigation positioning. It is of reference value in deep space, deep Earth, and deep sea exploration.

This comprehensive textbook covers engineering thermodynamics from beginner to advanced level. The presentation is concise, with material for about three full-term university courses on 700 pages, without compromising breadth or depth. First and second law of thermodynamics are developed from everyday observations with accessible and rational arguments. The laws of thermodynamics are applied to a multitude of systems and processes, from simple equilibration processes, over steam and gas power cycles, refrigerators and heat pumps, to chemical systems including fuel cells. Entropy and the second law are emphasized throughout, with focus on irreversible processes and work loss. Insightful development of theory is accompanied by detailed solutions of example problems, which teach the required technical skills while giving insight into the multitude of thermodynamic processes and applications. About 550 end-of-chapter problems highlight all important concepts and processes. .
