A treatise of heat and energy

A treatise of heat and energy[electronic resource] /by Lin-Shu Wang. - Cham :Springer international Publishing :2020. - xx, 301 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Mechanical engineering series,0941-5122. - Mechanical engineering series..

introduction: Temperature (the measurement of the degree of heat) and some comment on work -- Calorimetry and the caloric theory of heat: the measurement of heat -- The first law: the production of heat and the principle of conservation of energy -- Carnot's theory of heat, and Kelvin's adoption of which in terms of energy -- Entropy and the entropy principle -- Reversible processes versus quasi-static processes, and the condition of internal reversibility -- Free energy, exergy, and energy -- The second law: the entropy growth potential principle and the three-place relation in heat phenomena -- Applications to special states of thermodynamic equilibrium: Gibbsian thermodynamics for physical and chemical applications -- A theory of heat as a prelude to engineering thermodynamics.

This textbook explains the meaning of heat and work and the definition of energy and energy systems. it describes the constructive role of entropy growth and makes the case that energy matters, but entropy growth matters more. Readers will learn that heat can be transferred, produced, and extracted, and that the understanding of generalized heat extraction will revolutionize the design of future buildings as thermal systems for managing low grade heat and greatly contribute to enhanced efficiency of tomorrow's energy systems and energy ecosystems. Professor Wang presents a coherent theory-structure of thermodynamics and clarifies the meaning of heat and the definition of energy in a manner that is both scientifically rigorous and engaging, and explains contemporary understanding of engineering thermodynamics in continuum of its historical evolution. The textbook reinforces students' grasp of concepts with end-of-chapter problems and provides a historical background of pioneering work by Black, Laplace, Carnot, Joule, Thomson, Clausius, Maxwell, Planck, Gibbs, Poincare and Prigogine. Developed primarily as a core text for graduate students in engineering programs, and as reference for professional engineers, this book maximizes readers' understanding and shines a light on new horizons for our energy future. Brings forth students' understanding of how heat and work are different and why the principle of their inter-convertibility (i.e., exchangeability) should be rejected; Elucidates the constructive role of entropy growth, and the notion that energy matters, but entropy growth matters more; Demonstrates that heat can be transferred, produced, and extracted; Teaches readers that all reversible-like processes are heat extraction processes and how this understanding will revolutionize the design of future buildings.
