Conclusion -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex 330 $aThis book places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to harmonize it with classical mechanics. Using the highest standards of exposition and rigor, the authors develop a novel formulation of thermodynamics that can be viewed as a moderate-sized system theory as compared to statistical thermodynamics. This middle-ground theory involves deterministic large-scale dynamical system models that bridge the gap between classical and statistical thermodynamics. The authors' theory is motivated by the fact that a discipline as cardinal as thermodynamics--entrusted with some of the most perplexing secrets of our universe--demands far more than physical mathematics as its underpinning. Even though many great physicists, such as Archimedes, Newton, and Lagrange, have humbled us with their mathematically seamless eurekas over the centuries, this book suggests that a great many physicists and engineers who have developed the theory of thermodynamics seem to have forgotten that mathematics, when used rigorously, is the irrefutable pathway to truth. This book uses system theoretic ideas to bring coherence, clarity, and precision to an extremely important and poorly understood classical area of science. 410 0$aPrinceton series in applied mathematics. 606 $aThermodynamics$xMathematics 606 $aDifferentiable dynamical systems 615 0$aThermodynamics$xMathematics. 615 0$aDifferentiable dynamical systems. 676 $a536/.7 686 $aUG 1000$2rvk 700 $aHaddad$b Wassim M.$f1961-$0447740 701 $aChellaboina$b VijaySekhar$f1970-$0447741 701 $aNersesov$b Sergey G.$f1976-$0770667 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820305403321 996 $aThermodynamics$91572600 997 $aUNINA
