The Dynamics of Heat A Unified Approach to Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer

The Dynamics of Heat A Unified Approach to Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer / by Hans U. Fuchs.

Based on courses for students of science, engineering, and systems science at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences at Winterthur, this text approaches the fundamentals of thermodynamics from the point of view of continuum physics. By describing physical processes in terms of the flow and balanc...
