Essays On Thermodynamics
Author: Inaki Abalos
Publisher: Actar D, Inc.
ISBN: 1945150327
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
Essays on Thermodynamics, Architecture and Beauty, is a book that unfolds arguments and designs around the concept of "thermodynamic beauty". This new aesthetic category opens up new and unexpected directions to the architect's work, connecting architecture and thermodynamics without giving up the tectonic tradition. The compendium will be developed through the concepts of Somatisms, Monsters Assemblage, Verticalism and Thermodynamic Materialism, summarizing design strategies, and opening new territories at the scales of building, public space and landscape.

Modern Thermodynamics for Chemists and Biochemists
Author: Dennis Sherwood
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198782950
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 901
Book Description
Thermodynamics is fundamental to university curricula in chemistry, physics, engineering and many life sciences. It is also notoriously difficult for students to understand, learn and apply. This book explains the fundamental concepts with great clarity, and shows how they can be applied to a variety of chemical and life science contexts.

APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS
Author: R. Yadav
Publisher: I K International Pvt Ltd
ISBN: 819706959X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1422
Book Description
Applied Thermodynamics deals with engineering systems and devices which are designed using the laws and principles of basic engineering thermodynamics and deliver power output, pressure rise, kinetic energy rise, thrust, cooling and heating effects depending upon the use of systems and devices under operation. Starting with review of basic engineering thermodynamics, the book goes on to discuss steam generators including draft needed and performance, steam engines, internal combustion engines and their testing and performance, positive displacement and dynamic compressors, nozzles and diffusers, steam turbines, condensers and cooling towers, gas turbines and their components, jet propulsion, lubrication, nuclear engineering; and combined, co-generation, and mixed cycle power plants. The book is suitable as Text for B.E/ B. Tech of Mechanical, Production, and Aeronautical Engineering students appearing in university, UPSC and GATE examinations.

Every Life Is on Fire
Author: Jeremy England
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 1541699009
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
A preeminent physicist unveils a field-defining theory of the origins and purpose of life. Why are we alive? Most things in the universe aren't. And everything that is alive traces back to things that, puzzlingly, weren't. For centuries, the scientific question of life's origins has confounded us. But in Every Life Is on Fire, physicist Jeremy England argues that the answer has been under our noses the whole time, deep within the laws of thermodynamics. England explains how, counterintuitively, the very same forces that tend to tear things apart assembled the first living systems. But how life began isn't just a scientific question. We ask it because we want to know what it really means to be alive. So England, an ordained rabbi, uses his theory to examine how, if at all, science helps us find purpose in a vast and mysterious universe. In the tradition of Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Every Life Is on Fire is a profound testament to how something can come from nothing.
