Rational Thermodynamics

Rational Thermodynamics By C. Truesdell
Publisher: Sp..ring..er 1984 | 578 Pages | ISBN: 3540908749 | DJVU | 5 MB

In the first edition of this book I tried to survey in brief compass the main ideas, methods, and discoveries of rational thermodynamics as it then stood, only five years after Messrs. Coleman & Noll, while in Baltimore, had written the fundamental memoir that provided for the new science the one root theretofore wanting. A survey in the same style today would require an almost wholly new book, three or four times as long. As it was in 1968, again in 1983 a consecutive treatise restricted to the foundations would be premature, for at this moment they are under earnest discussion, probing analysis, and powerful attack by several students and from several directions.
