MIT Press Ltd Holographic Quantum Matter The MIT Press
Book SynopsisA comprehensive overview of holographic methods in quantum matter, written by pioneers in the field. This book, written by pioneers in the field, offers a comprehensive overview of holographic methods in quantum matter. It covers influential developments in theoretical physics, making the key concepts accessible to researchers and students in both high energy and condensed matter physics. The book provides a unique combination of theoretical and historical context, technical results, extensive references to the literature, and exercises. It will give readers the ability to understand the important problems in the field, both those that have been solved and those that remain unsolved, and will enable them to engage directly with the current literature. The book describes a particular interface between condensed matter physics, gravitational physics, and string and quantum field theory made possible by holographic duality. The chapters cover such topics as the es

MIT Press Ltd The Character of Physical Law Mit Press
Book SynopsisAn introduction to modern physics and to Richard Feynman at his witty and enthusiastic best, discussing gravitation, irreversibility, symmetry, and the nature of scientific discovery.Richard Feynman was one of the most famous and important physicists of the second half of the twentieth century. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, celebrated for his spirited and engaging lectures, and briefly a star on the evening news for his presence on the commission investigating the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, Feynman is best known for his contributions to the field of quantum electrodynamics. The Character of Physical Law, drawn from Feynman's famous 1964 series of Messenger Lectures at Cornell, offers an introduction to modern physics—and to Feynman at his witty and enthusiastic best.In this classic book (originally published in 1967), Feynman offers an overview of selected physical laws and gathers their common features, arguing that the impo

MIT Press Ltd Thermodynamic Weirdness From Fahrenheit to
Book SynopsisAn account of the concepts and intellectual structure of classical thermodynamics that reveals the subject's simplicity and coherence.Students of physics, chemistry, and engineering are taught classical thermodynamics through its methods—a “problems first” approach that neglects the subject's concepts and intellectual structure. In Thermodynamic Weirdness, Don Lemons fills this gap, offering a nonmathematical account of the ideas of classical thermodynamics in all its non-Newtonian “weirdness.” By emphasizing the ideas and their relationship to one another, Lemons reveals the simplicity and coherence of classical thermodynamics. Lemons presents concepts in an order that is both chronological and logical, mapping the rise and fall of ideas in such a way that the ideas that were abandoned illuminate the ideas that took their place. Selections from primary sources, including writings by Daniel Fahrenheit, Antoine Lavoisier, James Joule

Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH Process Design for Cryogenics
Book SynopsisUp-to-date overview of the method for producing the main industrial gases This book covers process design for cryogenic processes like air separation, natural gas liquefaction, and hydrogen and helium liquefaction. It offers an overview of the basics of cryogenics and information on process design for modern industrial plants. Throughout, the book helps readers visualize the theories of thermodynamics related to cryogenics in practice. A central concept in the book is the connection between the theoretical world of process design and the real limitations given by available hardware components and systems. Sample topics covered in this book include: Cryogenic gases like nitrogen, oxygen, argon, neon, hydrogen, helium and methane Thermodynamics Typical cryogenic refrigeration processes, including the classic Joule Thomson process, the contemporary mixed-gas Joule Thomson process, and expander-based processes like Brayton and Claude cycles Helium and hydrogen liquefaction and air separation The book is a comprehensive must-have resource for engineers and scientists working in academia and industry on cryogenic processes.Table of ContentsFOREWORD AND INTRODUCTION CRYOGENICS GASES REFRIGERATION AND LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS CLASSIC JOULE-THOMSON PROCESS Joule-Thomson effect Joule Thomson Process Description Cooling capacity of the Joule Thomson process Real process design procedure Thermodynamic losses in Joule Thomson process (loss in heat exchanger, throttle device, argumentation chain) Hardware components for Joule Thomson refrigerator Sample of a Joule Thomson- refrigerator Optimization Control issues Evaluation of the Joule Thomson process and summary MIXED GAS JOULE THOMSON PROCESS Effect Process Description Cooling capacity Real process design procedure Thermodynamic losses Hardware components Sample of Claude refrigerator Optimization Control issues Evaluation of the mixed gas Joule Thomson process and summary NATURAL GAS LIQUEFACTION EXPANSION IN AN EXPANDER BRAYTON PROCESS Effect Process Description Cooling capacity Real process design procedure Thermodynamic losses Hardware components Sample of Brayton refrigerator Optimization Control issues Evaluation of the Brayton process and summary CLAUDE PROCESS Effect Process Description Cooling capacity Real process design procedure Thermodynamic losses Hardware components Sample of Claude refrigerator Optimization Control issues Evaluation of the Claude process and summary HELIUM LIQUEFACTION HYDROGEN LIQUEFACTION AIR SEPARATION Effect Process Description Real process design procedure Thermodynamic losses Hardware components Optimization Control issues Evaluation of the air separation process and summary SUMMARY REFERENCES
