Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a beginner-friendly guide to the conversion of heat into work. The author investigates the relationships between heat, light, electricity, and chemical action, presenting them as forms of energy convertible into one another. Through numerous practical examples, the author aims to demonstrate the applicability of the doctrine laid down by Sadi Carnot, and others like him, regarding the limits within which the economical working of heat-engines is possible. By examining the physical laws that govern these processes, the author aims to extend our understanding of the nature of energy and its transformative potential, providing essential knowledge for engineers and scientists.
