For the thermodynamics course in the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering department Thermodynamics: An Interactive Approach employs a layered approach that introduces the important concepts of mass, energy, and entropy early, and progressively refines them throughout the text.
The principal message of this book is that thermodynamics and statistical mechanics will benefit from replacing the unfortunate, misleading and mysterious term "e;entropy"e; with a more familiar, meaningful and appropriate term such as information, missing information or uncertainty.
This book presents the derivation of the fluctuation theorems with divergent entropy production and their application to fundamental problems in statistical physics.
