توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب بلوک به بلوک: مبانی تاریخی و نظری ترمودینامیک

در قلب بسیاری از زمینه ها - فیزیک، شیمی، مهندسی - ترمودینامیک نهفته است. در حالی که این علم نقش مهمی در تعیین مرز بین آنچه در دنیای طبیعی ممکن است و غیر ممکن ایفا می کند، برای بسیاری به عنوان یک جعبه سیاه غیرقابل کشف ظاهر می شود، بنابراین موضوع را به چالشی برای یادگیری تبدیل می کند. دو مانع به این وضعیت کمک می کند، اولی قطع ارتباط بین نظریه های بنیادی و فیزیک زیربنایی و دومی مفاهیم و اصطلاحات گیج کننده درگیر با نظریه ها. در حالی که برای استفاده موفقیت‌آمیز از ترمودینامیک برای حل مشکلات واقعی، نیازی به مقابله با هر یک از این دو مانع نیست، غلبه بر هر دو، دسترسی به حس شهودی بیشتری از مشکلات و اطمینان بیشتر، قدرت بیشتر و خلاقیت بیشتر در حل آنها را فراهم می‌کند. این کتاب دیدگاهی اصیل درباره علم و تاریخ ترمودینامیک بر اساس سه رویکرد یک مهندس، آکادمیک و مورخ ارائه می دهد. این کتاب مجموعه ای استراتژیک از موضوعات اساسی را که شامل نظریه اتمی، انرژی، آنتروپی و قوانین ترمودینامیک است، ترکیب و در یک جلد در دسترس جمع می کند.


توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی

At the heart of many fields - physics, chemistry, engineering - lies thermodynamics. While this science plays a critical role in determining the boundary between what is and is not possible in the natural world, it occurs to many as an indecipherable black box, thus making the subject a challenge to learn. Two obstacles contribute to this situation, the first being the disconnect between the fundamental theories and the underlying physics and the second being the confusing concepts and terminologies involved with the theories. While one needn't confront either of these two obstacles to successfully use thermodynamics to solve real problems, overcoming both provides access to a greater intuitive sense of the problems and more confidence, more strength, and more creativity in solving them. This book offers an original perspective on thermodynamic science and history based on the three approaches of a practicing engineer, academician, and historian. The book synthesises and gathers into one accessible volume a strategic range of foundational topics involving the atomic theory, energy, entropy, and the laws of thermodynamics.
