Publisher's Synopsis
Treatise On Thermodynamics is a seminal work in the field of physics, authored by the renowned German physicist Max Planck in 1905. The book is an in-depth exploration of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, which is the branch of physics that deals with the study of heat and its relationship with other forms of energy. The book is divided into two parts, the first part deals with the basic concepts of thermodynamics, including the laws of thermodynamics, the properties of gases, and the theory of heat engines. The second part of the book focuses on the applications of thermodynamics, including the study of phase transitions, the thermodynamics of chemical reactions, and the thermodynamics of electromagnetic radiation. Throughout the book, Planck provides a rigorous and mathematical treatment of the subject matter, using clear and concise language to explain complex concepts. He also includes numerous examples and problems to help readers understand and apply the principles of thermodynamics.Treatise On Thermodynamics is a landmark work in the history of physics, and it remains a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of thermodynamics. Planck's insights and contributions to the field continue to influence the development of modern physics, and his work has helped to shape our understanding of the fundamental nature of energy and the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
