Sinopsis

Thermodynamics is the much abused slave of many masters ? physicists who love the totally impractical Carnot process, ? mechanical engineers who design power stations and refrigerators, ? chemists who are successfully synthesizing ammonia and are puzzled by photosynthesis, ? meteorologists who calculate cloud bases and predict föhn, boraccia and scirocco, ? physico-chemists who vulcanize rubber and build fuel cells, ? chemical engineers who rectify natural gas and distil f- mented potato juice, ? metallurgists who improve steels and harden surfaces, ? - trition counselors who recommend a proper intake of calories, ? mechanics who adjust heat exchangers, ? architects who construe - and often misconstrue - ch- neys, ? biologists who marvel at the height of trees, ? air conditioning engineers who design saunas and the ventilation of air plane cabins, ? rocket engineers who create supersonic flows, et cetera. Not all of these professional groups need the full depth and breadth of ther- dynamics. For some it is enough to consider a well-stirred tank, for others a s- tionary nozzle flow is essential, and yet others are well-served with the partial d- ferential equation of heat conduction. It is therefore natural that thermodynamics is prone to mutilation, different group-specific meta-thermodynamics? have emerged which serve the interest of the groups under most circumstances and leave out aspects that are not often needed in their fields.
