The progress of civilization is dependent on the effective use of energy and its transformation; from the sources of energy to how it can be applied to solve the needs of the citizens of this planet.

This diagram illustrates a slit pore system, relevant to the study of nanoscale thermodynamics. Fluid particles (black dots) are confined within a slit pore, adjacent to a pressure reservoir filled ...

As Homer Simpson once famously phrased, “ in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics ,” but a new and completely ...

Recently, a team of researchers made headlines for a stunning announcement: a theoretical breakthrough that expanded our understanding of the first law of thermodynamics. But to understand that result ...

Thermodynamics concerns the foundation of all branches of physical sciences. Therefore, this is a required course for all mechanical engineering students. Also, the students of all other branches of ...

A NEW edition of Prof. Partington's “Text-book of Thermodynamics with special reference to Chemistry” (1913) has been desired for some time, and those who are familiar with that work will welcome it ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

The Laws of Thermodynamics are the foundation of heat transfer and energy work. When any engineer is designing or implementing a system, the consideration of heat loss or energy produced is influenced ...
