Thermodynamics and Information. 330 $aThis book offers a comprehensive overview of thermodynamics. It is divided into four parts, the first of which equips readers with a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics of equilibrium states and of their evolution. The second part applies these principles to a series of generalized situations, presenting applications that are of interest both in their own right and in terms of demonstrating how thermodynamics, as a theory of principle, relates to different fields. In turn, the third part focuses on non-equilibrium configurations and the dynamics of natural processes. It discusses both discontinuous and continuous systems, highlighting the interference among non-equilibrium processes, and the nature of stationary states and of fluctuations in isolated systems. Lastly, part four introduces the relation between physics and information theory, which constitutes a new frontier in fundamental research. The book includes step-by-step exercises, with solutions, to help readers to gain a fuller understanding of the subjects, and also features a series of appendices providing useful mathematical formulae. Reflecting the content of modern university courses on thermodynamics, it is a valuable resource for students and young scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry, and engineering. 410 0$aUNITEXT for Physics,$x2198-7882 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aPhysical chemistry 606 $aHeat engineering 606 $aHeat transfer 606 $aMass transfer 606 $aLow temperature physics 606 $aLow temperatures 606 $aPhase transitions (Statistical physics) 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aThermodynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050 606 $aPhysical Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000 606 $aLow Temperature Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25130 606 $aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25099 606 $aComplexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aPhysical chemistry. 615 0$aHeat engineering. 615 0$aHeat transfer. 615 0$aMass transfer. 615 0$aLow temperature physics. 615 0$aLow temperatures. 615 0$aPhase transitions (Statistical physics). 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 14$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aPhysical Chemistry. 615 24$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 615 24$aLow Temperature Physics. 615 24$aPhase Transitions and Multiphase Systems. 615 24$aComplexity. 676 $a536.7 700 $aSaggion$b Antonio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0349025 702 $aFaraldo$b Rossella$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPierno$b Matteo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349500503321 996 $aThermodynamics$92518068 997 $aUNINA
