Contents:
Introduction -- Dynamical system theory -- systems foundation for thermodynamics -- Temperature equipartition and the kinetic theory of gases -- Work, heat, and the Carnot cycle -- Thermodynamic systems with linear energy exchange -- Continuum thermodynamics.
Summary: This book places thermodynamics on a system-theoretic foundation so as to harmonize it with classical mechanics. Using the highest standards of exposition and rigor, the authors develop a novel formulation of thermodynamics that can be viewed as a moderate-sized system theory as compared to statistical thermodynamics. This middle-ground theory involves deterministic large-scale dynamical system models that bridge the gap between classical and statistical thermodynamics. The authors' theory is motivated by the fact that a discipline as cardinal as thermodynamics--entrusted with some of the most.
