By Wolfgang Yourgrau,Alwyn van der Merwe,Gough Raw
For this Dover variation, the authors (including Wolfgang Yourgrau sooner than his dying) greatly revised the treatise. The phrases are a similar: thermophysics “examines the relationship of temperature and entropy with the nonthermal homes of topic and radiation.” Thermodynamics strictly refers to “the phenomenological a part of thermophysics,” regularly nonequilibrious; structures in thermomechanical equilibrium belong to thermostatics. Thermophysics very easily divides into phenomenological (microscopic homes) and statistical (atomic). Classical thermophysics, eventually, “excludes the total of statistical mechanics, whereas within the phenomenological area it contains merely thermostatics.”
Contents include:
Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes
General rules of Statistical Thermodynamics
Assemblies of Noninteracting Structureless Particles
Statistical idea and extra complicated actual Systems
Each bankruptcy has a bibliography; difficulties regarding particular chapters are provided on the finish of the paintings (no solutions). The reappearance of this treatise in a handsomely certain layout should be in particular welcomed via complex scholars of physics; professors and really expert researchers will wish this lucid monograph of their own libraries for reference and review.
