Based on a course of lectures delivered by the author at Columbia University, the text is elementary in treatment and remarkable for its clarity and organization. Although it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the fundamental facts of thermometry and calorimetry, no advanced mathematics beyond calculus is assumed.Partial contents: thermodynamic systems, the first law of thermodynamics (application, adiabatic transformations), the second law of thermodynamics (Carnot cycle, absolute thermodynamic temperature, thermal engines), the entr 410 0$aDover Books on Physics 606 $aThermodynamics 615 0$aThermodynamics. 676 $a536.7 700 $aFermi$b Enrico$f1901-1954.$0746 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911007089703321 996 $aThermodynamics$919364 997 $aUNINA
