Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, a branch of physics concerned with concepts such as heat, temperature, energy, and work, and their interconversions. The author's innovative approach is to deduce the ordinary forms of thermodynamic laws from those of conservation and degradation of energy principles. The discussion looks particularly at irreversible phenomena, arguing that heat and temperature are not more nor less justifiable than pressure and density at a point. The author claims that conventional heat and temperature definitions are not suitable for irreversible processes and proposes an alternative. This book will appeal to those interested in the theoretical development of thermodynamics, particularly as it relates to the irreversibility of energy phenomena.
