Contents:
An Outline of Modern Thermodynamics -- Brief Histories of Thermodynamics -- Fundamentals of Classical Thermodynamics -- Fundamentals of Modern Thermodynamics -- Dissipative Thermodynamics -- Thermodynamics Coupling Model for Activated Low-pressure Diamond Growth -- Nondissipative Thermodynamics and Binary Nonequilibrium Phase Diagrams -- Nondissipative Thermodynamics and Ternary Nonequilibrium Phase Diagrams -- Carat-size Low-pressure Diamonds and Other Thermodynamic Issues.-.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: "Modern Thermodynamics- Based on the Extended Carnot Theorem" provides comprehensive definitions and mathematical expressions of both classical and modern thermodynamics. The goal is to develop the fundamental theory on an extended Carnot theorem without incorporating any extraneous assumptions. In particular, it offers a fundamental thermodynamic and calculational methodology for the synthesis of low-pressure diamonds. It also discusses many "abnormal phenomena", such as spiral reactions, cyclic reactions, chemical oscillations, low-pressure carat-size diamond growth, biological systems, and more. The book is intended for chemists and physicists working in thermodynamics, chemical thermodynamics, phase diagrams, biochemistry and complex systems, as well as graduate students in these fields. Jitao Wang is a professor emeritus at Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
