Publisher's Synopsis
Entropy or Thermodynamics from an Engineer's Standpoint and the Reversibility of Thermodynamics is a book written by James Swinburne and originally published in 1903. The book explores the concepts of thermodynamics and entropy from an engineering perspective, presenting the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and their practical applications in various engineering fields. Swinburne discusses the laws of thermodynamics and their applications in the design and operation of engines, turbines, and other energy conversion systems. He also examines the concept of entropy and its role in the thermodynamic processes, including the relationship between entropy and the reversibility of thermodynamics. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of engineering. It provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of thermodynamics and their practical applications, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the field of energy conversion and engineering. Overall, Entropy or Thermodynamics from an Engineer's Standpoint and the Reversibility of Thermodynamics is a seminal work in the field of thermodynamics, providing a valuable perspective on the subject from an engineering standpoint.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
