A Treatise of Heat and Energy, 1st ed. 2020 Thermodynamics as a Predicative Entropic Theory of Heat Mechanical Engineering Series
Auteur : Wang Lin-Shu
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.
