Type de monographie : Ouvrage

Résumé

This book is intended to present an introductory text which covers both the traditional aspects of thermodynamics as well as its more recent developments. Extract of contents: historical roots: from heat engines to cosmology (basic concepts; first law of thermodynamics; second law of thermodynamics and the arrow of time; entropy in the realm of chemical reactions); equilibrium thermodynamics (basic thermodynamics of gases, liquids and solids; phase change; solutions; chemical transformations; fields and internal degrees of freedom; thermodynamics of radiation); fluctuations and stability (Gibbs stability theory; critical phenomena and configurational heat capacity; stability and fluctuations based on entropy production); linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics (foundations; the linear regime; nonequilibrium stationary states and their stability: linear regime); order through fluctuations (nonlinear thermodynamics; dissipative structures).
