It seemed appropriate to arrange a meeting of teachers of thermodynamics in the United Kingdom, a meeting held in the pleasant surroundings of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, in September, 1984. This volume records the ideas put forward by authors, the discussion generated and an account of the action that discussion has initiated.
Motion Mountain - The Adventure of Physics (6 Vol.Set)
A modern introduction to physics,captivating, simple, with many colour pictures, animations and films, riddles and challenges.It covers mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity, quantum physics and modern attempts at unification.
Thermodynamics, istical Physics, and Quantum Mechanics A GUIDE TO PHYSICS PROBLEMS part 2
A Guide to Physics Problems, Part 2not only serves an important function, but is a pleasure to read. By selectingproblems from different universities and even different scientificcultures, the authors have effectively avoided a one-sided approach to physics. All the problems are good,some are very interesting,some positivelyintriguing, a few are crazy; but all of them stimulate the reader to think about physics, not merely to train you to pass an exam. I personallyreceived considerable pleasure in working the problems, and I would guess that anyone who wants to be a professional physicist wouldexperience similar enjoyment
Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach, 5th Edition
The worldwide bestseller Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach brings further refinement to an approach that emphasizes a physical understanding of the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics. The authors offer an engineering textbook that "talks directly to tomorrow's engineers in a simple yet precise manner, that encourages creative thinking, and is read by the students with interest and enthusiasm."
This book is designed for the virtual reader in mind, it is concise and easy to read, yet it presents all the basic laws of thermodynamics in a simplistic and straightforward manner. The book deals with all four laws, the zeroth law and its application to temperature measurements. This book is well stocked with worked examples to demonstrate the various practical applications in real life, of the laws of thermodynamics.
