As such, it is a subject of profound practical and fundamental importance to many science and engineering fields. Despite extremely varied applications ranging from nanomotors to cosmology, the core concepts of thermodynamics such as equilibrium and entropy are the same across all disciplines. A Conceptual Guide to Thermodynamics serves as a concise, conceptual and practical supplement to the major thermodynamics textbooks used in various 606 $aThermodynamics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 676 $a536/.7 700 $aPoirier$b Bill$0969410 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464744003321 996 $aA conceptual guide to thermodynamics$92202870 997 $aUNINA
