Based on courses for students of science, engineering, and systems science at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences at Winterthur, this text approaches the fundamentals of thermodynamics from the point of view of continuum physics. By describing physical processes in terms of the flow and balance of physical quantities, the author achieves a unified approach to hydraulics, electricity, mechanics and thermodynamics. In this way, it becomes clear that entropy is the fundamental property that is transported in thermal processes (i.e., heat), and that temperature is the corresponding potential. The resulting theory of the creation, flow, and balance of entropy provides the foundation of a dynamical theory of heat. This extensively revised and updated second edition includes new material on dynamical chemical processes, thermoelectricity, and explicit dynamical modeling of thermal and chemical processes. To make the book more useful for courses on thermodynamics and physical chemistry at different levels, coverage of topics is divided into introductory and more advanced and formal treatments. Previous knowledge of thermodynamics is not required, but the reader should be familiar with basic electricity, mechanics, and chemistry and should have some knowledge of elementary calculus. The special feature of the first edition – the integration of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and chemical processes – has been maintained and strengthened. Key Features: Presents a unified approach to thermodynamics and heat transport in fundamental physical and chemical processes First revised edition of a successful text/reference in fourteen years More than 25 percent new material Provides worked examples, questions, and problem sets for use as a teaching text or for self testing Includes many system dynamics models of laboratory experiments.

Cet ouvrage propose une approche novatrice des théories de la physique macroscopique basée sur la physique des milieux continus et des systèmes dynamiques uniformes. Il présente la physique en tant que science des systèmes, applicable dans différentes disciplines telles que les sciences de la terre, la biologie, l’ingénierie chimique et l’énergétique, la médecine ou l’écologie, domaines dans lesquels les sciences physiques, une approche systémique, et la modélisation, simulation et analyse de systèmes dynamiques jouent un rôle.L’ouvrage traite des systèmes dynamiques dans les fluides, l’électricité, la chaleur, les processus chimiques, ainsi que lors de l’étude des mouvements de rotation et de translation. Il offre également une présentation de la théorie classique des champs. Il propose enfin plusieurs études de cas, et se clôt par un résumé traitant des équations de bilan appliquées aux processus dynamiques.Chaque sujet est développé à partir d’une perspective imagée et narrative, puis formalisé. Les idées visant à l’élaboration des concepts et des relations sont suggérées et introduites sur la base de descriptions et de données relatives à des phénomènes dynamiques concrets.Richement illustré de centaines de schémas couleur, ce manuel tout spécialement conçu pour les étudiants en sciences de Bachelor et de Master des universités et des hautes écoles spécialisées intéressera également les enseignants et les praticiens à la recherche d’une référence en la matière. - 4e de couverture
