Science of heat and thermophysical studies : a generalized approach to thermal analysis
Science of Heat and Thermophysical Studies provides a non-traditional bridging of historical, philosophical, societal and scientific aspects of heat with a comprehensive approach to the field of generalized thermodynamics. It involves Greek philosophical views and their impact on the development of contemporary ideas. Covered topics include: the concept of heat thermometry and calorimetry early concepts of temperature and its gradients non-equilibrium and quantum thermodynamics chemical kinetics entropy, order and information thermal science applied to economy(econophysics), ecosystems, and process dynamics or mesoscopic scales (quantum diffusion) importance of energy science and its influence to societal life
