The Dynamics of Heat by Hans U Fuchs
Extensively revised and updated, this volume includes new material on dynamical chemical processes, thermoelectricity, and explicit dynamical modeling of thermal and chemical processes. Suitable for various courses, the text is divided into introductory and more advanced and formal treatments.From the reviews of the second edition:
“A vigorous approach to the exposition of the fundamentals of thermal-fluid sciences by employing a unified approach to thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and electricityFuchs (Zurich Univ. of Applied Sciences, Switzerland) argues, with extensive topical depth … can be used to describe the dynamics of thermal energy (heat) transport. This flow and balance of entropy model is featured throughout the text with a system dynamics approach. … an invaluable self-study reference for advanced readers in the field. Summing Up: Recommended. Researchers/faculty and professionals in thermal-fluid sciences.” (B. Tao, Choice, Vol. 48 (11), August, 2011)
“This is … a book devoted to a wide description of theories concerning thermodynamics. … the author takes care to explain the theories with lots of figures, illustrations and examples. … Each chapter is completed with many exercises, the main parts of the associated solutions being gathered at the end of the book. … it will be surely accessible to different kinds of students and researchers. Both will find here some deep and modern models which can be applied in very different situations.” (Alian Brillard, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1214, 2011)
