This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104 Book of Thermo-Chemistry and Thermodynamics If we wish to study the laws of the flow of heat, we must introduce exact measures for the merely psychological conceptions of heat and temperature, which we have been considering hitherto. Our sensation of temperature cannot help us in this, as sensations cannot be compared with one another quantitatively. We cannot perform a measurement of heat or of temperature until we have found some physical property of a body which varies uniquely and continuously with its thermal condition, and which can be measured in time and space by one of the ordinary scientific methods. Fortunately experiment has Shown us that there are a great many physical properties of bodies which vary uniquely in this way with their thermal condition, and which may all, therefore, be used for the measurement of heat or of temperature. Nearly all the physical properties of a body are altered when it is heated. One of the easiest properties to measure is the volume. A body occupies more space when it is hot than when it is cold. We say, therefore, that heat causes expansion, and cold causes contraction. The property of expansion on heating is common to all bodies with very few exceptions (one exception is water between 0 and and is generally used as the basis of temperature measurements. The expansion on heating is most marked in the case of gases, and was noticed first in them; as early as 100 we find this property of gases made use of by Hero of Alexandria in some ingenious experiments. In the case of liquids and solids the expansion is much less noticeable; in the latter case it is even somewhat difficult to determine. Gases and liquids are most suitable for the measurement of temperature, and for the construction of temperature measuring instruments, or thermometers, as they are called. The gas thermometer was discovered by Liquid thermometers were introduced later. Fig. 1 is a diagram of Galileo's air thermometer, Fig. 2 of a liquid thermometer as used at the present day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanics of the Earth's Atmosphere: A Collection of Translations In general it was concluded that air and water alike swerve in curved paths in front of such obstacles and flow towards the free openings. In the latter and directly adjoining the outer ends of the obstacle the strongest current is formed which here retains its direction unaltered, therefore free from all variations. The deviation in front of the obstacle does not take place at any definite distance from it, but rather extends up to the. Obstacle itself and even when the plate faces the current it is seen that a feeble motion still exists immediately adjoining it.

Download or read book An Introduction to Thermodynamics written by John Mills and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Thermodynamics: For Engineering Students This book is the outcome of the writer's desire to put into the hands of a class, studying introductory thermodynamics, in a concise form a statement of those principles and concepts which are essential to the study of the construction and operation of steam engines, steam turbines, and their auxiliaries, and, to a more limited extent, of air compressors and gas engines. The book deals only with the ideal and limiting cases, and aims only at a preparation of the student for reading the more advanced technical works or papers. As such the text makes no claim to originality except, to some extent, in the selection and arrangement of material and in the location of the emphasis. The material selected is from such sources as the works and books of Clausius, Rankine, Carnot, Kelvin, Stodola, Pellat, Planck, Preston, Edser, Bryan, Boulvin, Swinburne, Peabody, and Buckingham. The arrangement is intended to lead the student from the sophomore physics work into thermodynamics as a continuation and more detailed study of a portion of physical science already somewhat familiar. The emphasis is therefore placed upon the physical concepts, and constant reference is made to the molecular kinetic theory, which is usually familiar to such a student. Although an effort has been made to eliminate as far as practicable the use and solution of differential equations, it is hoped that should the book be used by a student who later takes up the study of pure thermodynamics, he will have little if anything to unlearn and will find the physical interpretation of the mathematical relations rendered easier. The emphasis is also placed upon the solution of numerical problems, many examples of which are given. These in general are arranged to lead from the simpler concepts to the ideal limiting cases of the applications to engineering problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Thermodynamics: Introduction: The Principles of Thermodynamics One of the most fundamental concepts employed in the study of physical phenomena 'is the concept of the tempera ture* of a body. We distinguish, through touch, between 'hot' and 'cold' bodies. A block of ice feels 'cold' the air in the evening feels 'cool'; a cup of tea feels 'lukewarm'; We boil it, and it feels hot.' We thus establish a qualitative scale of the degrees of hotness or 'temperatures' of bodies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Atmospheric Thermodynamics 2e written by Craig Bohren and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atmospheric Thermodynamics provides a comprehensive treatment of a subject that can often be intimidating. The text analyses real-life problems and applications of the subject, alongside of guiding the reader through the fundamental basics and covering the first and second laws and the ideal gas law, followed by an emphasis on moist processes in Earth's atmosphere. Water in all its phases is a critical component of weather and the Earth's climate system. With user-friendly chapters that include energy conservation and water and its transformations, the authors write with a willingness to expose assumptions and approximations usually absent in other textbooks. History is woven into the text to provide a context for the time evolution of thermodynamics and its place in atmospheric science and demonstrating how physical reasoning leads to correct explanations of everyday phenomena. Many of the experiments described were done using inexpensive instruments to take advantage of the earth's atmosphere as a freely accessible thermodynamics library. This second edition provides updated treatments of atmospheric measurements and substantially expanded sections that include atmospheric applications of the first and second laws and energy exchange between humans and their atmospheric environment. With 400+ thought provoking problems and 350 references with annotated notes and further reading suggestions, this second edition provides a basic understanding of the fundamentals of this subject while still being a comprehensive reference guide for those working in the field of atmospheric and environmental sciences.

Download or read book Treatise on Thermodynamics Classic Reprint written by Peter Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on Thermodynamics This Treatise is a new development of all the details of the subject directly from the two laws, and thus exhibits the science as an organic unity instead of so many detached propositions developed row mathematical rather than physical considerations. This is done by first obtaining mathematical expressions of the two laws in general forms applicable to any elementary cycle, and then from these general forms deriving the particular forms characteristic of the particular elementary cycles. When this has been done, the whole system of mathematical formulae embodying the details of the science has been obtained. All this is first exhibited in forms in terms of any scale of temperatures, and is afterwards transformed into forms in terms of the absolute scale. In Chapter VI. is exhibited for the first time (as far as I am aware) the general extension of the Second Law in terms of any scale of temperatures, and equation (39) exhibits Carnot's Function in a new form much more general than any hitherto given, which is derived from the said general extension of the Second Law.
