Thermodynamics: From Energy and Entropy to Heat Transfer and Phase Transitions

By Rainer Müller

How are thermals in gliding related to thermodynamic adiabatic processes? In what way can the concept of entropy be used to analyze a solar power plant in the desert? This book presents thermodynamics with a constant focus on practical applications from everyday life and technology. A deep understanding of thermodynamic principles is skillfully conveyed by applying theory to real-world situations.
