Irreversible Phenomena

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of thermodynamics and reality, this book examines the disparity between ideal concepts and real-world phenomena. It delves into the second law of thermodynamics, discussing the distinctions between reversible processes, which are theoretical and occur at infinitely low velocities, and irreversible processes, which are observable in nature. The author highlights the limitations of applying ideal gas laws and thermodynamic equations to real situations, emphasizing that all natural processes are inherently irreversible.
