By describing physical processes in terms of the flow and balance of physical quantities, the author achieves a unified approach to hydraulics, electricity, mechanics and thermodynamics. In this way, it becomes clear that entropy is the fundamental property that is transported in thermal processes (i.e., heat), and that temperature is the corresponding potential. The resulting theory of the creation, flow, and balance of entropy provides the foundation of a dynamical theory of heat.     This extensively revised and updated second edition includes new material on dynamical chemical processes, thermoelectricity, and explicit dynamical modeling of thermal and chemical processes. To make the book more useful for courses on thermodynamics and physical chemistry at different levels, coverage of topics is divided into introductory and more advanced and formal treatments. Previous knowledge of thermodynamics is not required, but the reader should be familiar with basic electricity, mechanics, and chemistry and should have some knowledge of elementary calculus. The special feature of the first edition -- the integration of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and chemical processes -- has been maintained and strengthened.     Key Features:  ·         First revised edition of a successful text\/reference in fourteen years  ·         More than 25 percent new material  ·         Provides a unified approach to thermodynamics and heat transport in fundamental physical and chemical processes  ·         Includes worked examples, questions, and problem sets for use as a teaching text or to test the reader's understanding  ·         Includes many system dynamics models of laboratory experiments","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51029872017681,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51029874147601,"sku":"NIN9781493937028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52608698450193,"sku":"NLS9781493937028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1493937022.jpg?v=1751179469"},{"product_id":"primary-physical-science-education-book-hans-u-fuchs-9783031439551","title":"Primary Physical Science Education","description":"This open access book is the first of two volumes that integrates a study of direct encounters with Primary Forces of Nature, Wind, Light, Rain, Heat and Cold, Water, etc., with imaginative narrative forms of communication.   The approach developed in this book shows how the growth of cognitive tools (first of mythic and then of romantic forms of understanding) lets children make sense of experiencing physical phenomena. An in-depth description of Fluids, Gravity, and Heat as Basic Forces shows how primary sense-making can evolve into understanding of aspects of physical science, allowing for a nature-based pedagogy and application to environmental systems.   The final chapter introduces visual metaphors and theatrical storytelling that are particularly useful for understanding the role of energy in physical processes. It explores how a mythic approach to nature can inform early science pedagogy. This book is of interest to kindergarten and primary school teachers as well asearly education researchers and instructors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52432411066641,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52432411623697,"sku":"NLS9783031439551","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783031439551.jpg?v=1759174942"},{"product_id":"dynamics-of-heat-book-hans-u-fuchs-9781441976031","title":"The Dynamics of Heat","description":"Based on courses for students of science, engineering, and systems science at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences at Winterthur, this text approaches the fundamentals of thermodynamics from the point of view of continuum physics.

The numbers of the problems includ- ed here are listed on the following page. A friend who knows me well noticed that I have included only those problems which I could actually solve myself. Also, to make things more interesting, I have built random errors into the solutions. If you find any of them, please let me know. Also, if you have different ways of solving a problem, I would be happy to hear from you. Any feedback, also on the book in general, would be greatly appreciated. There is an Errata sheet for the first printing of The Dynamics of Heat. By the time you read this, it should be available on the Internet for you to download. A reference to the URL of the sheet can be found in the announcement of my book on Springer's Wpages (www.springer-ny.com).
