Classical Mechanics Physics Statistical Theoretical Thermodynamics Treatise on Irreversible and Statistical Thermophysics: An Intoduction to Nonclassical Thermodynamics by Wolfgang Yourgrau, "Thermophysics poses one of the most exciting questions in theoretical physics: how can one reconcile the irreversibility of natural processes with the reversible mechanics governing the elementary constituents of thermal systems?" Professors Yourgrau, van der Merwe and Raw prefaced their treatise with this remark more than 30 years ago; while progress in thermophysics has been, to say the least, dynamic, the remark and the excitement hold true today. For this hardcover Dover edition, the authors (including Wolfgang Yourgrau before his death) extensively revised the treatise. The terms are the same: thermophysics "examines the connection of temperature and entropy with the nonthermal properties of matter and radiation." Thermodynamics strictly refers to "the phenomenological part of thermophysics," generally nonequilibrious; systems in thermomechanical equilibrium belong to thermostatics. Thermophysics conveniently divides into phenomenological (microscopic properties) and statistical (atomic). Classical thermophysics, finally, "excludes the whole of statistical mechanics, while in the phenomenological domain it includes only thermostatics." Contents include: Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes; General Principles of Statistical Thermodynamics; Assemblies of Noninteracting Structureless Particles; Statistical Theory and More Complex Physical Systems. Each chapter has a bibliography; problems related to specific chapters are offered at the end of the work (no solutions). The reappearance of this treatise in a handsomely bound format will be especially welcomed by advanced students of physics; professors and specialized researchers will want this lucid monograph in their personallibraries for reference and review. Unabridged, corrected Dover republication of the edition published by The Macmillan Co., New York, 1966. Preface, appendix, problems, index, glossary of symbols and physical constants.
Computer Simulations of Surfaces and Interfaces by BurkhardDunweg, Studies of surfaces and interactions between dissimilar materials or phases are vital for modern technological applications. Computer simulation methods are indispensable in such studies and this book contains a substantial body of knowledge about simulation methods as well as the theoretical background for performing computer experiments and analyzing the data. The book is self-contained, covering a range of topics from classical statistical mechanics to a variety of simulation techniques, including molecular dynamics, Langevin dynamics and Monte Carlo methods. A number of physical systems are considered, including fluids, magnets, polymers, granular media, and driven diffusive systems. The computer simulation methods considered include both standard and accelerated versions. The simulation methods are clearly related to the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
Philosophy of thermal and statistical physics - The philosophy of thermal and statistical physics is one of the major subdisciplines of the philosophy of physics. Its subject matter is classical thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and related theories. Barry Simon - Barry Simon (born 16 April, 1946) is an eminent Jewish-American mathematical physicist and the IBM Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Caltech, known for his prolific contributions in spectral theory, functional analysis, and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (particularly Schrödinger operators), including the connections to atomic and molecular physics. More particularly, his work has focused on broad areas of mathematical physics and analysis covering: quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, Brownian motion, random matrix theory, general nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (including N- ... Statistical ensemble (mathematical physics) - In mathematical physics, especially as introduced into statistical mechanics and thermodynamics by J. Willard Gibbs in 1878, an ensemble (also statistical ensemble or thermodynamic ensemble) is an idealization consisting of a large number of mental copies (possibly infinitely many) of a system, considered all at once, each of which represents a possible state that the real system might be in.
