商品描述

Thermal physics deals with collections of large numbers of particles - typically 10 to the 23rd power or so. Examples include the air in a balloon, the water in a lake, the electrons in a chunk of metal, and the photons given off by the sun. We can't possibly follow every detail of the motions of so many particles. So in thermal physics we assume that these motions are random, and we use the laws of probability to predict how the material as a whole ought to behave. Alternatively, we can measure the bulk properties of a material, and from these infer something about the particles it is made of.

This book will give you a working understanding of thermal physics, assuming that you have already studied introductory physics and calculus. You will learn to apply the general laws of energy and entropy to engines, refrigerators, chemical reactions, phase transformations, and mixtures. You will also learn to use basic quantum physics and powerful statistical methods to predict in detail how temperature affects molecular speeds, vibrations of solids, electrical and magnetic behaviors, emission of light, and exotic low-temperature phenomena. The problems and worked examples explore applications not just within physics but also to engineering, chemistry, biology, geology, atmospheric science, astrophysics, cosmology, and everyday life.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

熱物理學處理的是大量粒子的集合——通常約為10的23次方。例子包括氣球中的空氣、湖水中的水、金屬塊中的電子，以及太陽發出的光子。我們不可能跟蹤這麼多粒子的每一個運動細節。因此，在熱物理學中，我們假設這些運動是隨機的，並使用概率法則來預測整體材料的行為。或者，我們可以測量材料的整體性質，並從中推斷出它所由的粒子的一些特性。

本書將使您對熱物理學有一個實用的理解，假設您已經學過基礎物理學和微積分。您將學會將能量和熵的一般法則應用於引擎、冰箱、化學反應、相變化和混合物。您還將學會使用基本的量子物理學和強大的統計方法，詳細預測溫度如何影響分子速度、固體的振動、電磁行為、光的發射以及奇異的低溫現象。這些問題和範例探討的應用不僅限於物理學，還包括工程學、化學、生物學、地質學、大氣科學、天體物理學、宇宙學以及日常生活。
