Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thermodynamics of the atmosphere is the subject of severai chapters in most textbooks on dynamic meteorology, but there is no work in English to give the subject a specific and more extensive treatment. In writing the present textbook, we have tried to fiII this rather remarkable gap in the literature related to atmospheric sciences. Our aim has been to provide students of meteorology with a book that can play a role similar to the textbooks on chemical thermodynamics for the chemists. This implies a previous knowledge of general thermodynamics, such as students acquire in general physics courses; therefore, although the basic principles are reviewed (in the urst four chapters), they are only briefly discussed, and emphasis is laid on those topics that wilI be useful in later chapters, through their application to atmospheric problems. No attempt has been made to introduce the thermodynamics ofirreversible processes; on the other hand, consideration of heterogeneous and open homogeneous systems permits a rigorous formulation of the thermodynamic functions of c10uds (exclusive of any consideration of microphysical effects) and a better understanding of the approx imations usually implicit in practical applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook presents a uniquely integrated approach in linking both physics and chemistry to the study of atmospheric thermodynamics. The book explains the classical laws of thermodynamics, focuses on various fluid systems, and, recognising the increasing importance of chemistry in the meteorological and climate sciences, devotes a chapter to chemical thermodynamics which includes an overview of photochemistry. Although students are expected to have some background knowledge of calculus, general chemistry and classical physics, the book provides set-aside refresher boxes as useful reminders. It contains over 100 diagrams and graphs to supplement the discussions, and a similar number of worked examples and exercises, with solutions included at the end of the book. It is ideal for a single-semester advanced course on atmospheric thermodynamics, and will prepare students for higher-level synoptic and dynamics courses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104 Book of Thermo-Chemistry and Thermodynamics If we wish to study the laws of the flow of heat, we must introduce exact measures for the merely psychological conceptions of heat and temperature, which we have been considering hitherto. Our sensation of temperature cannot help us in this, as sensations cannot be compared with one another quantitatively. We cannot perform a measurement of heat or of temperature until we have found some physical property of a body which varies uniquely and continuously with its thermal condition, and which can be measured in time and space by one of the ordinary scientific methods. Fortunately experiment has Shown us that there are a great many physical properties of bodies which vary uniquely in this way with their thermal condition, and which may all, therefore, be used for the measurement of heat or of temperature. Nearly all the physical properties of a body are altered when it is heated. One of the easiest properties to measure is the volume. A body occupies more space when it is hot than when it is cold. We say, therefore, that heat causes expansion, and cold causes contraction. The property of expansion on heating is common to all bodies with very few exceptions (one exception is water between 0 and and is generally used as the basis of temperature measurements. The expansion on heating is most marked in the case of gases, and was noticed first in them; as early as 100 we find this property of gases made use of by Hero of Alexandria in some ingenious experiments. In the case of liquids and solids the expansion is much less noticeable; in the latter case it is even somewhat difficult to determine. Gases and liquids are most suitable for the measurement of temperature, and for the construction of temperature measuring instruments, or thermometers, as they are called. The gas thermometer was discovered by Liquid thermometers were introduced later. Fig. 1 is a diagram of Galileo's air thermometer, Fig. 2 of a liquid thermometer as used at the present day.

Book excerpt: An Introduction to Atmospheric Thermodynamics is a self-contained, concise but rigorous book introducing the reader to the basics of the subject. Introductory chapters provide basic definitions and some useful mathematical and physical notes. Following a treatment of the fundamental laws of classical thermodynamics, the book describes topics including the properties of moist air and atmospheric stability. Thermodynamic diagrams are used as tools in the forecasting of storm development. In the final chapter the author introduces the problem of weather prediction and the relevance of thermodynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Thermodynamics: For Engineering Students This book is the outcome of the writer's desire to put into the hands of a class, studying introductory thermodynamics, in a concise form a statement of those principles and concepts which are essential to the study of the construction and operation of steam engines, steam turbines, and their auxiliaries, and, to a more limited extent, of air compressors and gas engines. The book deals only with the ideal and limiting cases, and aims only at a preparation of the student for reading the more advanced technical works or papers. As such the text makes no claim to originality except, to some extent, in the selection and arrangement of material and in the location of the emphasis. The material selected is from such sources as the works and books of Clausius, Rankine, Carnot, Kelvin, Stodola, Pellat, Planck, Preston, Edser, Bryan, Boulvin, Swinburne, Peabody, and Buckingham. The arrangement is intended to lead the student from the sophomore physics work into thermodynamics as a continuation and more detailed study of a portion of physical science already somewhat familiar. The emphasis is therefore placed upon the physical concepts, and constant reference is made to the molecular kinetic theory, which is usually familiar to such a student. Although an effort has been made to eliminate as far as practicable the use and solution of differential equations, it is hoped that should the book be used by a student who later takes up the study of pure thermodynamics, he will have little if anything to unlearn and will find the physical interpretation of the mathematical relations rendered easier. The emphasis is also placed upon the solution of numerical problems, many examples of which are given. These in general are arranged to lead from the simpler concepts to the ideal limiting cases of the applications to engineering problems.
