This 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.
