Excerpt from Lessons on Thermodynamics
The substance of the following Lessons formed a course of Lectures on Thermodynamics which were delivered at the Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford, in Hilary Term 1876. They have been revised, and are now published in the hope of supplying a complete English Mathematical Introduction to the Dynamical Theory of Heat. No such treatise exists at present Professor Rankine's Manual of Me steam-engine ana' oz/zer Prime Movers, being written for the use chiefly of practical Engineers, contains only a short sketch of the subject; Professor Tait's Tkermodyaamz'es gives very valuable information as to the history of the theory and its place in the general Science of Energy, but is too brief for the wants of the student; and Professor Clerk Maxwell in his T/zeory of Heal has not gone far into the Mathematical Development, though in other respects the work is most valuable and perhaps the most suggestive that has been written on the subject. To this last book the present writer owes his first knowledge of Thermodynamics, and takes this opportunity of acknowledging his great obligations to it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book establishes and explains the first law of thermodynamics, which describes the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. The author demonstrates that heat is not a separate entity but rather a form of energy, and that it can be converted into and out of other forms of energy. The book explores the implications of this law for understanding the behavior of matter and energy in various physical systems, providing a foundation for further study in thermodynamics and its applications. The concepts presented in this book have had a profound impact on our understanding of the physical world and continue to be essential for advancements in engineering, physics, chemistry, and other scientific fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334259692_0
