The Aim ofthe Book.

It is a great pleasure for me to introduce this book which has the main ambition to make thermodynamics more directly accessible to engineers and physicists by stressing the analogies with the other physical domains; this science has discouraged more than a few students.

As a basis for printed property charts and tables, empirical multiparameter equa- tions of state have been the most important source of accurate thermodynamic property data for more than 30 years now.

"e;Por he who knows not mathematics cannot know any other sciences; what is more, he cannot discover his own ignorance or find its proper remedies.

Adaptronics is the term encompassing technical fields that have become known internationally under the names "e;smart materials"e;, "e;intelligent structures"e;, and "e;smart structures"e;.
