商品描述

This textbook explains the meaning of heat and work and the definition of energy and energy systems. It describes the constructive role of entropy growth and makes the case that energy matters, but entropy growth matters more. Readers will learn that heat can be transferred, produced, and extracted, and that the understanding of generalized heat extraction will revolutionize the design of future buildings as thermal systems for managing low grade heat and greatly contribute to enhanced efficiency of tomorrow's energy systems and energy ecosystems.
Professor Wang presents a coherent theory-structure of thermodynamics and clarifies the meaning of heat and the definition of energy in a manner that is both scientifically rigorous and engaging, and explains contemporary understanding of engineering thermodynamics in continuum of its historical evolution. The textbook reinforces students' grasp of concepts with end-of-chapter problems and provides a historical background of pioneering work by Black, Laplace, Carnot, Joule, Thomson, Clausius, Maxwell, Planck, Gibbs, Poincare and Prigogine.
Developed primarily as a core text for graduate students in engineering programs, and as reference for professional engineers, this book maximizes readers' understanding and shines a light on new horizons for our energy future.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書解釋了熱和功的意義，以及能量和能量系統的定義。它描述了熵增長的建設性角色，並主張能量很重要，但熵增長更為重要。讀者將學習到熱可以被轉移、產生和提取，對於廣義熱提取的理解將徹底改變未來建築的設計，使其成為管理低品位熱的熱系統，並大大提高明天的能源系統和能源生態系統的效率。

王教授提出了一個連貫的熱力學理論結構，並以科學嚴謹且引人入勝的方式闡明熱的意義和能量的定義，解釋了工程熱力學的當代理解及其歷史演變的連續性。這本教科書通過章末問題加強學生對概念的掌握，並提供了有關布萊克、拉普拉斯、卡諾、焦耳、湯姆森、克勞修斯、麥克斯韋、普朗克、吉布斯、龐加萊和普里高金等先驅工作的歷史背景。

這本書主要作為工程學研究生的核心教材，以及專業工程師的參考書，最大化讀者的理解，並為我們的能源未來照亮新的視野。

作者簡介

Professor Lin-Shu Wang is Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. A lifelong student of thermodynamics and philosophy of science, Dr. Wang has taught courses in engineering thermodynamics for decades and is the inventor of the "Turbo-Cool turbocharging system," "hybrid solar panels," and "reverse-cycle ductless heat pumps for zoned heating and cooling,"technologies that, respectively, improve engine energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy, increase the supply of power and heat from solar energy conversion, and reduce the energy demand for building heating and cooling. He earned his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

林書旺教授是紐約州立大學石溪分校機械工程副教授。作為熱力學和科學哲學的終身學習者，王博士已教授工程熱力學課程數十年，並且是「Turbo-Cool 渦輪增壓系統」、「混合型太陽能電池板」以及「反向循環無管道區域供暖和冷卻熱泵」的發明者。這些技術分別改善了引擎的能量效率和車輛的燃油經濟性，增加了來自太陽能轉換的電力和熱量供應，並減少了建築供暖和冷卻的能源需求。他在加州大學伯克利分校獲得博士學位。
