图书简介
This book provides a clear and mystery-free presentation of the central concepts in thermodynamics — probability, entropy, Helmholtz energy and Gibbs energy. It presents the concepts of entropy, free energy and various formulations of the Second Law in a friendly, simple language. It is devoid of all kinds of fancy and pompous statements made by authors of popular science books who write on this subject. The book focuses on the Four Laws of Thermodynamics. As it is said in the dedication page, this book is addressed to readers who might have already been exposed to Atkins’ book having a similar title. It challenges both the title, and the contents of Atkins’ book, Four Laws That Drive The Universe. One can glean from the title of this new book that the author’s views are diametrically opposed to the views of Atkins. The book is addressed to any curious and intelligent reader. It aims to tickle, and hopefully to satisfy your curiosity. It also aims to challenge your gray matter, and to enrich your knowledge by telling you some facts and ideas regarding the Four Laws of Thermodynamics. Key Features: o First, it presents the author’s own formulation of the Second Law which has many advantages over all other formulations of the Second Law o Second, it present the author’s original definition of entropy based on Shannon’s measure of information o Third, unlike many other books, this book presents the most general formulation of the Second Law in terms of Probability, not Entropy. The entropy formulation is only a special case, relevant to isolated systems o There are no other books (except some of the author’s previous books) which provide a unique and solid interpretation of entropy, Helmholtz energy, Gibbs energy and the Second Law
