Thermodynamics
TREATISE ON THERMODYNAMICS BY DR. MAX PLANCK PROFESSOR OF THEORETICAL PHYSICS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF BERLIN TRANSLATED WITH THE AUTHOR'S SANCTION BY ALEXANDER OGG, M.A., B.Sc., PH.D., F.INST.P. PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS, UNIVERSITY OF CAPETOWN, SOUTH AFRICA THIRD EDITION TRANSLATED FROM THE SEVENTH GERMAN EDITION DOVER PUBLICATIONS, INC. FROM THE PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. THE oft-repeated requests either to publish my collected papers on Thermodynamics, or to work them up into a comprehensive treatise, first suggested the writing of this book. Although the first plan would have been the simpler, especially as I found no occasion to make any important changes in the line of thought of my original papers, yet I decided to rewrite the whole subject-matter, with the inten- tion of giving at greater length, and with more detail, certain general considerations and demonstrations too concisely expressed in these papers. My chief reason, however, was that an opportunity was thus offered of presenting the entire field of Thermodynamics from a uniform point of view. This, to be sure, deprives the work of the character of an original contribution to science, and stamps it rather as an introductory text-book on Thermodynamics for students who have taken elementary courses in Physics and Chemistry, and are familiar with the elements of the Differential and Integral Calculus. The numerical values in the examples, which have been worked as applications of the theory, have, almost all of them, been taken from the original papers; only a few, that have been determined by frequent measurement, have been " taken from the tables in Kohlrausch's Leitfaden der prak- tischen Physik." It should be emphasized, however, that the numbers used, notwithstanding the care taken, have not vii x PREFACE. -
Computational Thermodynamics: a Mature Scientific Tool for Industry and Academia*
Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 83, No. 5, pp. 1031–1044, 2011. doi:10.1351/PAC-CON-10-12-06 © 2011 IUPAC, Publication date (Web): 4 April 2011 Computational thermodynamics: A mature scientific tool for industry and academia* Klaus Hack GTT Technologies, Kaiserstrasse 100, D-52134 Herzogenrath, Germany Abstract: The paper gives an overview of the general theoretical background of computa- tional thermochemistry as well as recent developments in the field, showing special applica- tion cases for real world problems. The established way of applying computational thermo- dynamics is the use of so-called integrated thermodynamic databank systems (ITDS). A short overview of the capabilities of such an ITDS is given using FactSage as an example. However, there are many more applications that go beyond the closed approach of an ITDS. With advanced algorithms it is possible to include explicit reaction kinetics as an additional constraint into the method of complex equilibrium calculations. Furthermore, a method of interlinking a small number of local equilibria with a system of materials and energy streams has been developed which permits a thermodynamically based approach to process modeling which has proven superior to detailed high-resolution computational fluid dynamic models in several cases. Examples for such highly developed applications of computational thermo- dynamics will be given. The production of metallurgical grade silicon from silica and carbon will be used to demonstrate the application of several calculation methods up to a full process model. Keywords: complex equilibria; Gibbs energy; phase diagrams; process modeling; reaction equilibria; thermodynamics. INTRODUCTION The concept of using Gibbsian thermodynamics as an approach to tackle problems of industrial or aca- demic background is not new at all. -
Covariant Hamiltonian Field Theory 3
December 16, 2020 2:58 WSPC/INSTRUCTION FILE kfte COVARIANT HAMILTONIAN FIELD THEORY JURGEN¨ STRUCKMEIER and ANDREAS REDELBACH GSI Helmholtzzentrum f¨ur Schwerionenforschung GmbH Planckstr. 1, 64291 Darmstadt, Germany and Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universit¨at Frankfurt am Main Max-von-Laue-Str. 1, 60438 Frankfurt am Main, Germany [email protected] Received 18 July 2007 Revised 14 December 2020 A consistent, local coordinate formulation of covariant Hamiltonian field theory is pre- sented. Whereas the covariant canonical field equations are equivalent to the Euler- Lagrange field equations, the covariant canonical transformation theory offers more gen- eral means for defining mappings that preserve the form of the field equations than the usual Lagrangian description. It is proved that Poisson brackets, Lagrange brackets, and canonical 2-forms exist that are invariant under canonical transformations of the fields. The technique to derive transformation rules for the fields from generating functions is demonstrated by means of various examples. In particular, it is shown that the infinites- imal canonical transformation furnishes the most general form of Noether’s theorem. We furthermore specify the generating function of an infinitesimal space-time step that conforms to the field equations. Keywords: Field theory; Hamiltonian density; covariant.

Introduction Relativistic field theories and gauge theories are commonly formulated on the basis of a Lagrangian density L1,2,3,4. The space-time evolution of the fields is obtained by integrating the Euler-Lagrange field equations that follow from the four-dimensional representation of Hamilton’s action principle. -

Henry Andrews Bumstead 1870-1920
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XIII SECOND MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF HENRY ANDREWS BUMSTEAD 1870-1920 BY LEIGH PAGE PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1929 HENRY ANDREWS BUMSTEAD BY LIUGH PAGE Henry Andrews Bumstead was born in the small town of Pekin, Illinois, on March 12th, 1870, son of Samuel Josiah Bumstead and Sarah Ellen Seiwell. His father, who was a physician of considerable local prominence, had graduated from the medical school in Philadelphia and was one of the first American students of medicine to go to Vienna to complete his studies. While the family was in Vienna, Bumstead, then a child three years of age, learned to speak German as fluently as he spoke English, an accomplishment which was to prove valuable to him in his subsequent career. Bumstead was descended from an old New England family which traces its origin to Thomas Bumstead, a native of Eng- land, who settled in Boston, Massachusetts, about 1640. Many of his ancestors were engaged in the professions, his paternal grandfather, the Reverend Samuel Andrews Bumstead, being a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and a minister in active service. From them he inherited a keen mind and an unusually retentive memory. It is related that long before he had learned to read, his Sunday school teacher surprised his mother by complimenting her on the ease with which her son had rendered the Sunday lesson. It turned out that his mother made a habit of reading the lesson to Bumstead before he left for school, and the child's remarkable performance there was due to his ability to hold in his memory every word of the lesson after hearing it read to him a single time. -

Thus engineering materials attain their special properties. Macroscopic basic unit of a material is called component. It refers to a independent chemical species. The components of a system may be elements, ions or compounds. A phase can be defined as a homogeneous portion of a system that has uniform physical and chemical characteristics i.e. it is a physically distinct from other phases, chemically homogeneous and mechanically separable portion of a system. A component can exist in many phases. E.g.: Water exists as ice, liquid water, and water vapor. Carbon exists as graphite and diamond. Mixtures – Solutions – Phases (contd…) When two phases are present in a system, it is not necessary that there be a difference in both physical and chemical properties; a disparity in one or the other set of properties is sufficient. A solution (liquid or solid) is phase with more than one component; a mixture is a material with more than one phase. Solute (minor component of two in a solution) does not change the structural pattern of the solvent, and the composition of any solution can be varied. In mixtures, there are different phases, each with its own atomic arrangement. It is possible to have a mixture of two different solutions! Gibbs phase rule In a system under a set of conditions, number of phases (P) exist can be related to the number of components (C) and degrees of freedom (F) by Gibbs phase rule. -

GENERAL ARTICLE Josiah Willard Gibbs V Kumaran The foundations of classical thermodynamics, as taught in V Kumaran is a professor textbooks today, were laid down in nearly complete form by of chemical engineering at the Indian Institute of Josiah Willard Gibbs more than a century ago. This article Science, Bangalore. His presentsaportraitofGibbs,aquietandmodestmanwhowas research interests include responsible for some of the most important advances in the statistical mechanics and history of science. fluid mechanics. Thermodynamics, the science of the interconversion of heat and work, originated from the necessity of designing efficient engines in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Engines are machines that convert heat energy obtained by combustion of coal, wood or other types of fuel into useful work for running trains, ships, etc. The efficiency of an engine is determined by the amount of useful work obtained for a given amount of heat input. There are two laws related to the efficiency of an engine. The first law of thermodynamics states that heat and work are inter-convertible, and it is not possible to obtain more work than the amount of heat input into the machine. The formulation of this law can be traced back to the work of Leibniz, Dalton, Joule, Clausius, and a host of other scientists in the late 17th and early 18th century. The more subtle second law of thermodynamics states that it is not possible to convert all heat into work; all engines have to ‘waste’ some of the heat input by transferring it to a heat sink. The second law also established the minimum amount of heat that has to be wasted based on the absolute temperatures of the heat source and the heat sink. -

The most important ingredients of the triple, namely symplectic diffeomorphisms, special symplectic manifolds, and Morse families, are generalized to the contact framework. These geometries permit us to determine so-called generating family (obtained by merging a special contact manifold and a Morse family) for a Legendrian submanifold.

Basic Principles of Stat Mechanics LectureA.G. Petukhov, 1: Historical PHYS Overview, 743 Statistical Paradigm, ClassicalAugust Mechanics 23, 2017 1 / 11 In 1905-1906 Einstein and Smoluchovski developed theory of Brownian motion. The theory was experimentally verified in 1908 by a french physical chemist Jean Perrin who was able to estimate the Avogadro number NA with very high accuracy. Daniel Bernoulli in eighteen century was the first who applied molecular-kinetic hypothesis to calculate the pressure of an ideal gas and deduct the empirical Boyle's law pV = const. In the 19th century Clausius introduced the concept of the mean free path of molecules in gases. He also stated that heat is the kinetic energy of molecules. In 1859 Maxwell applied molecular hypothesis to calculate the distribution of gas molecules over their velocities. Historical Overview According to ancient greek philosophers all matter consists of discrete particles that are permanently moving and interacting. Gas of particles is the simplest object to study.

Classical Mechanics
Classical Mechanics Prof. Dr. Alberto S. Cattaneo and Nima Moshayedi January 7, 2016 2 Preface This script was written for the course called Classical Mechanics for mathematicians at the University of Zurich. The course was given by Professor Alberto S. Cattaneo in the spring semester 2014. I want to thank Professor Cattaneo for giving me his notes from the lecture and also for corrections and remarks on it. I also want to mention that this script should only be notes, which give all the definitions and so on, in a compact way and should not replace the lecture. Not every detail is written in this script, so one should also either use another book on Classical Mechanics and read the script together with the book, or use the script parallel to a lecture on Classical Mechanics. This course also gives an introduction on smooth manifolds and combines the mathematical methods of differentiable manifolds with those of Classical Mechanics.
