In particular, entropy is defined before and independently of the definitions of temperature and heat, and of the simple-system model for many-particle systems.

Prof. Beretta – Thermodynamics in a nutshell – MIT – IAP – January

Hatsopoulos-Keenan statement of the second law of thermodynamics, its main conceptual consequences. Introduction to the Physics of Fluids and Solids.

Basic concepts and applications are discussed in complete detail with attention to generality and logical consistency, removing ambiguities and limitations of traditional presentations. At the advanced level, the unique non-traditional order of exposition of the basic concepts and principles system, property, state, process, first law, energy, equilibrium, stable equilibrium, second law, entropy allows rigorous thegmodynamics definitions of energy and entropy valid for all systems large and small, few- and many- particles and all states stable and non-stable equilibrium, as well as non-equilibrium.

Because neither the students nor the teachers need to be puzzled by the typical logical difficulties and ambiguities of the traditional expositions entropy defined in terms of heat and temperature, heat and temperature thefmodynamics in terms of entropythey can all proceed quickly and safely to the applications of interest.

It adopts thetmodynamics statement of second law introduced by Hatsopoulos and Keenan ini. Foundations and Applications By: The text provides material for undergraduate and graduate courses. Proofs and details can be skipped because the students may find them in the book, if they wish, but the important aspect remains that the approach is rigorous and logically unambiguous.

Contact instructor for further details. The short course will illustrate how to present the essential concepts in a small number of lectures suitable for an introduction at the undergraduate level or an introductory review at the graduate level. At the advanced level, the unique non-traditional order of exposition of the basic concepts and principles system, property, state, process, first law, energy, equilibrium, stable equilibrium, second law, entropy allows rigorous general definitions of energy and entropy valid for all systems large and small, few- and many- particles and all states stable and non-stable equilibrium, as well as non-equilibrium.

Product Description Product Details Designed for both undergraduate and graduate students, this authoritative milestone in rhermodynamics foundational development of thermodynamics provides a unique reference for all physicists and engineers. Heat is defined rigorously, and it is not used to define entropy! Worked-out examples and end-of-chapter problems illustrate the use of energy and entropy balances as powerful analytical keystones in physics and engineering. The book has had a scientific role in the development of thermodynamics, particularly because it has provided the first noncircular definition of entropy, valid also for nonequilibrium states.

Gyftopoulos received his doctorate in electrical engineering from MIT in The treatment resolves conceptual loopholes and logical deficiencies which are present in traditional treatments of thermodynamics, and it is rigorous because it builds up a set of unambiguous definitions of all the basic concepts needed in the exposition system, property, state; nonequilibrium, equilibrium, and stable equilibrium state; process, weight process, reversible process; thermal reservoir.
