Applied Thermodynamics (International Encyclopaedia of Applied Science and Technology: Series) [PDF ebook] 

This publication provides an introduction to applied applied thermodynamics, its fields and thermochemistry. Focus lies on equilibrium, non-equilibrium and maximum entropy thermodynamics. Areas such as social and quantum thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and thermoeconomics are covered. Themes like thermodynamic limit, thermodynamic square and thermodynamic state and thermogravimetric analysis are discussed. Special focus lies on thermodynamic diagrams, temperature and history of thermodynamics.
