The book does not follow a rigid temporal order of events, nor it is meant to be comprehensive. It includes solved examples for a solid understanding. The division into chapters under the names of key players in the development of the field is not intended to separate these individual contributions entirely, but to highlight their different approaches to entropy. This structure helps to provide a different view-point from other text-books on entropy. 606 $aEngineering 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aBiochemistry 606 $aHydraulic engineering 606 $aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T14000 606 $aThermodynamics$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/P21050 606 $aBiochemistry, general$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/L14005 606 $aEngineering Fluid Dynamics$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/T15044 615 0$aEngineering. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aBiochemistry. 615 0$aHydraulic engineering. 615 14$aEngineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aBiochemistry, general. 615 24$aEngineering Fluid Dynamics. 676 $a536.73 700 $aTame$b Jeremy R.
