Description for A Course in Classical Physics 2-Fluids and Thermodynamics
Paperback. Series: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 250 pages, 110 black & white illustrations, 1 colour illustrations, 1 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHDF; PHH. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 391.
This second volume covers the mechanics of fluids, the principles of thermodynamics and their applications (without reference to the microscopic structure of systems), and the microscopic interpretation of thermodynamics. It is part of a four-volume textbook, which covers electromagnetism, mechanics, fluids and thermodynamics, and waves and light, is designed to reflect the typical syllabus during the first two years of a calculus-based university physics program. Throughout all four volumes, particular attention is paid to in-depth clarification of conceptual aspects, and to this end the historical roots of the principal concepts are traced. Emphasis ...
