Using a minimum of mathematics, a number of qualitative and quantitative examples, and clear illustrations, the author explains the science of thermodynamics in its full historical context, focusing on the concepts of energy and its availability and transformation in thermodynamic processes. His ultimate aim is to gain a deep understanding of the second law—the increase of entropy—and its rather disheartening message of a universe descending inexorably into chaos and disorder. It also examines the connection between the second law and why things go wrong in our daily lives. Readers will enhance their science literacy and feel more at home on the science side of author C. P. Snow‘s celebrated two-culture, science-humanities divide, and hopefully will feel more at home in the universe knowing that the disorder we deal with in our daily lives is not anyone‘s fault but Nature‘s. | | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | | 关键词 | Entropy and Disorder; Second Law of Thermodynamics; Closed versus Open Systems; Emergence of Order; Spon | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-34950-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-34949-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-34950-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
