The standard presentations of the subject are often beset by a number of obscurities associated with the words \"state\", \"reversible\", \"irreversible\", and \"quasi-static\". This book is written in the belief that such obscurities are best removed not by the formal axiomatization of thermodynamics, but by setting the theory in the wider context of a genuine field theory which incorporates the effects of heat conduction and intertia, and proving appropriate results about the governing differential equations of this field theory. Even in the simplest one-dimensional case it is a nontrivial task to carry through the details of this program, and many challenging problems remain open.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-09-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461264347\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-8550-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 97\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422442320012,"sku":"9781461264347","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461264347.jpg?v=1775740356","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461264347","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
