Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prof. Newman is considered one of the great chemical engineers of his time. His reputation derives from his mastery of all phases of the subject matter, his clarity of thought, and his ability to reduce complex problems to their essential core elements. He has been teaching undergraduate and graduate core subject courses at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), USA, since joining the faculty in 1966. His method is to write out, in long form, everything he expects to convey to his class on a subject on any given day. He has maintained and updated his lecture notes from notepad to computer throughout his career. This book is an exact reproduction of those notes. The book presents concepts needed to define single- and multi-component systems, starting with the Gibbs function. It helps readers derive concepts of entropy and temperature and the development of material properties of pure substances. It acquaints them with applications of thermodynamics, such as cycles, open systems, and phase transitions, and eventually leads them to concepts of multiple-component systems, in particular, chemical and phase equilibria. It clearly presents all concepts that are necessary for engineers.

This book was released on 1989-11-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In six lectures aspects of modern non-equilibrium thermodynamics of discrete systems as well as continuum theoretical concepts are represented. Starting out with survey and introduction, state spaces are defined, the existence of internal energy is investigated, and Clausius inequality including negative absolute temperature is derived by diagram technique. Non-equilibrium contact quantities, such as contact temperature — the dynamic analogue of thermostatic temperature — and chemical potentials are phenomenologically defined and quantumstatistically founded. Using Clausius inequality the existence of non-negative entropy production is proved which allows to formulate a dissipation inequality in continuum thermodynamics. The transition between thermodynamics of discrete systems and continuum thermodynamics with respect to contact quantities is considered. Different possibilities of exploiting the dissipation inequality for getting constraints for constitutive equations are discussed. Finally hyperbolic heat conduction in non-extended thermodynamics is treated.

This book demonstrates how to solve for the velocity profile of the classic problems of fluid mechanics, starting with Navier-Stokes equation. It explains when it is appropriate to simplify a problem by neglecting certain terms through proper dimensional analysis. It covers concepts such as basic relations of fluid mechanics, microscopic interpretation of fluxes, concentrations and velocities in mixtures, multicomponent diffusion, entropy production and implications for transport properties, Lighthill's transformations, perturbation methods and the singular perturbation method, non-Newtonian fluids, natural convection, turbulent flow, and hydrodynamic stability. It presents numerous examples such as Stokes flow past a sphere, heat transfer in a pure fluid, flow to a rotating disk, mass transfer to a rotating disk, boundary layer on a flat plate, creeping flow past a sphere, mass transfer to the rear of a sphere, Graetz-Leveque problem, spin coating, and mass transfer in turbulent flow and turbulent boundary layers. It is as much a thesis on transport phenomena as it is in applied mathematics, and it amply arms any serious problem solver with the tools to address any problem.

Download or read book Undergraduate Lectures on Intermediate Thermodynamics written by S. Paolucci and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book covers material in intermediate thermodynamics. It is aimed at those students who desire a deep fundamental understanding of the subject of thermodynamics. It is assumed that the student is familiar with differential equations and has completed a first course in thermodynamics. The material covered in the book is in four parts. In Part I, consisting of Lectures 1 and 2, we cover fundamental concepts of thermodynamics. These lectures provide a brief overview of the subject of thermodynamics, the generality, the applicability, how it's related to the composition of matter, and the laws of thermodynamics. Dimensions and units of various quantities, the definitions of a system, the boundary, the surroundings, constraints, and processes, as well as thermodynamic postulates which lead to the definition of entropy, the fundamental relation, and the energy minimum principle are also introduced in these lectures.Part II, consisting of Lectures 3 through 9, covers the theoretical basis of thermodynamics. Lecture 3 discusses the fundamental relation, the Euler equation, the equations of state, as well as the equilibrium state. Lecture 4 discusses the Gibbs-Duhem relation, molar coordinates, the ideal gas, generalized compressibility, and the virial equations of state. Lecture 5 provides an application of basic concepts to obtain the fundamental relation of the van der Waals fluid. Additional forms of the fundamental relation which are more useful in applications (the Helmholtz free energy, the enthalpy, and the Gibbs free energy), obtained via Legendre transformations, and a discussion on the chemical potential are given in Lectures 6 and 7. Lecture 8 discusses the number of properties necessary to fully describe a system, and the relationship between Maxwell relations and the restrictions on such properties. Lastly, Lecture 9 discusses the concept of thermodynamic stability and the Le Chatelier and Le Chatelier-Braun principles. Part III consists of Lectures 10 through 14 and deals with phase transitions, mixtures, solutions, and excess functions. Phases, phase transitions, latent heat, the Clapeyron equation, and the Gibbs phase rule are covered in Lectures 10 and 11. Lectures 12 and 13 deal with ideal and non-ideal gas mixtures and solutions. Lecture 14 provides a discussion of the concept of mixing and excess functions. Part IV, consisting of Lectures 15 through 17, covers chemical reactions and combustion. Lecture 15 deals with chemical reactions of ideal gases, the equilibrium constant, the law of mass action, the energy of formation, and the heat release from reactions. Lectures 16 and 17 cover fundamental concepts of combustion including the mass and energy balances in open and closed systems.Two appendices are included to aid the understanding of some fundamental concepts. Appendix A discusses the relationship between the macroscopic view of thermodynamics and the microscopic mechanical view and how the two are connected through statistics. Appendix B provides a clear explanation of Legendre transformations which are necessary to obtain alternate forms of the fundamental relation.Offering a concise overview of the most critical concepts of thermodynamics, the volume is ideal for those desiring a deeper understanding of the subject.

The four topics covered are: Surface charges as conserved quantities in theories of gravity; Classical and holographic features of three-dimensional Einstein gravity; Asymptotically flat spacetimes in four dimensions: BMS group and memory effects; The Kerr black hole: properties at extremality and quasi-normal mode ringing. Each topic starts with historical foundations and points to a few modern research directions.
Download or read book Black Holes Thermodynamics Information and Firewalls written by Robert B. Mann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the resurgence of interest in the quantum properties of black holes, culminating most recently in controversial discussions about firewalls. On the thermodynamic side, it describes how new developments allowed the inclusion of pressure/volume terms in the first law, leading to a new understanding of black holes as chemical systems, experiencing novel phenomena such as triple points and reentrant phase transitions. On the quantum-information side, the reader learns how basic arguments undergirding quantum complementarity have been shown to be flawed; and how this suggests that a black hole may surround itself with a firewall: a violent and chaotic region of highly excited states. In this thorough and pedagogical treatment, Robert Mann traces these new developments from their roots to our present-day understanding, highlighting their relationships and the challenges they present for quantum gravity.
