Thermodynamic methods of analysis have in recent years found
ever-growing extensions in diverse regions of modern tech nology.
The object of the present book is to apply these methods to the
description of materials of varying physical properties. I hope the
book will illustrate the wide variety and usefulness of
thermodynamics which was well described by Albert Einstein: "A
theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its
premises is, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the
more extended is its area of applicability. Therefore the deep
impression which classical thermodynamics made upon me." The work
of the American thermodynamic school is well known in the Soviet
Union, and thus it is a great pleasure to offer this book to
American readers. V. V. Sychev v Preface At the present time, when
a number of new areas of tech nology are rapidly evolving, it is
difficult to present a modern course in technical thermodynamics
without developing such sub jects as the thermodynamics of
insulators, magnets, and super conductors, or without treating the
features of thermodynamic systems located in a gravitational field
and in conditions of weight lessness, etc. In fact the limited
coverage of technical thermody namics in the usual textbooks and
school equipment as a rule prevents the authors from giving any
detailed discussion of these important problems. I therefore
resolved to treat these problems in a separate text. I discussed
the concept of this book with my teachers V. A."
