What is energy? What is time? When we look beneath the surface of these everyday terms to learn how scientists understand them, we encounter a realm of fundamental processes that rule the universe.DVD.

Thermodynamics / by Lewis, Gilbert Newton,1875-1946,author.(CARDINAL)762247; Randall, Merle,1888-1950,author.; Pitzer, Kenneth S.(Kenneth Sanborn),1914-1997,editor,revisor.; Brewer, Leo,1919-2005,editor,revisor.;
Includes bibliographical references and indexes."Since its first publication in 1923, this volume has been considered one of the great books in the literature of chemistry. In the early '60s, well-known chemists Kenneth S. Pitzer and Leo Brewer revised and updated it, adding substantial material on solution thermodynamics, results in statistical mechanics, surfaces, gravitational and electromagnetic fields, and other areas. Upon the second edition's 1961 publication, The Journal of Chemical Education noted: "The book will undoubtedly resume its place as a constant guide and reference for chemists using thermodynamics in their research, and as a textbook and reference for classes in the application of thermodynamics to chemistry." This new edition of a foundational work will be welcomed by teachers in the field. For advanced undergraduates in chemistry and related fields"--

Einstein's fridge : how the difference between hot and cold explains the universe / by Sen, Paul,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 283-286) and index.A tour of Britain - The motive power of fire - The Creator's Fiat - The valley of the Clyde - The principal problem of physics - The flow of heat and the end of time - Entropy - The motion we call heat - Collisions - Counting the ways - "The terroristic nimbus" - Boltzmann brains - Quanta - Sugar and pollen - Symmetry - Information is physical - Demons - The mathematics of life - Event horizon - Appendix I: The Carnot cycle - Appendix II: How Clausius reconciled the conservation of energy with the ideas of Sadi Carnot - Appendix III: The four laws of thermodynamics."Einstein's Fridge tells the incredible epic story of the scientists who, over two centuries, harnessed the power of heat and ice and formulated a theory essential to comprehending our universe. Thermodynamics--the branch of physics that deals with energy and entropy--is the least known and yet most consequential of all the sciences. It governs everything from the behavior of living cells to the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Not only that, but thermodynamics explains why we must eat and breathe, how lights turn on, the limits of computing, and how the universe will end. The brilliant people who decoded its laws came from every branch of the sciences; they were engineers, physicists, chemists, biologists, cosmologists, and mathematicians. From French military engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot to Lord Kelvin, James Joule, Albert Einstein, Emmy Noether, Alan Turing, and Stephen Hawking, author Paul Sen introduces us to all of the players who passed the baton of scientific progress through time and across nations. Incredibly driven and idealistic, these brave pioneers performed groundbreaking work often in the face of torment and tragedy. Their discoveries helped create the modern world and transformed every branch of science, from biology to cosmology. Einstein's Fridge brings to life one of the most important scientific revolutions of all time and captures the thrill of discovery and the power of scientific progress to shape the course of history"--

Thermodynamics for dummies / by Pauken, Michael,author.;
Getting started with thermodynamics -- Employing the laws of thermodynamics -- Planes, trains, and automobiles: making heat work for you -- Handling thermodynamic relationships, reactions, and mixtures -- The part of tens.The thermodynamics knowledge you need to succeed in class--and in your career. Thermodynamics For Dummies, 2nd Edition covers the topics found in a typical undergraduate introductory thermodynamic course (which is an essential course to nearly all engineering degree programs). It also brings the subject to life with exciting content on where (and how!) thermodynamics is being used today (spoiler alert: everywhere!). You'll grasp the basics of how heat and energy interact, thermodynamic properties of reactions and mixtures, and how thermodynamic cycles are used to make things go. This useful guide also covers renewable energy systems, new refrigerant technology, and a more diverse perspective on the history of the field. Within, you'll: Get clear explanations of the laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic cycles, and beyond ; Read about real-world examples to help you connect with the content ; Practice solving thermodynamic problems to internalize what you've learned. For students looking for resources to demystify thermodynamics, Thermodynamics For Dummies, 2nd Edition is the perfect choice. Become thermodynamically savvy with this accessible guide!
