Albrecht, Author Editeur : OXFORD University Press Date de publication : 2023 ISBN (ou autre code) : 978-0-19-887271-9 Langue : English (eng) Mots clé : introduction:conservation of energy Indexation : 551.5 Résumé : Can be used both as a textbook in the atmospheric sciences, and as a reference book for classical thermodynamics taught in physics or engineering departments Equations are carefully laid out, derivations are detailed, and equations are interpreted physically Fallicies are criticized no matter how hallowed they are by frequent repetition in textbooks History is woven into the text to provide a context for the time evolution of thermodynamics and its place in atmospheric science Includes more than 400 thought-provoking problems, most of which do not involve simply plugging numbers into equations About 350 references with annotated notes and suggested further reading New to this Edition: Chapters 3 and 4 have been rearranged Chapter 7 has been expanded to include more about the interaction of humans with their environment, and more discussion about engineering heat transfer Number of problems has been doubled to more than 400 More suggestions for experiments and observations have been included, and more references and critically researched historical details have been added More emphasis is given on physical reasoning and interpretation The discussion of instruments for measuring temperature, dew point, humidity and pressure have been updated Atmospheric Thermodynamics : Second Edition [printed text] / Craig F.
